A study is presented on the strategies employed to solve additive change problems by three
students with intellectual disabilities (two of them with autism spectrum disorder). The …

Linguistic features as a task-related feature influence the difficulty of mathematical tasks. To
reduce this influence (eg, in testing situations), studies on linguistic simplification focus on …

What can false memories tell us about the structure of mental representations of arithmetic
word problems? The semantic congruence model describes the central role of world …

Assessment and intervention in the early years should ideally be based on evidence-based
models describing the structure and development of students' skills. Mathematical word …

The association between language and mathematics is an important debated topic. Here,
we proposed a structure correspondence hypothesis to explain under what conditions …

The study examines language dimensions of mathematical word problems and the
classification of mathematical word problems according to these dimensions with …
