Current theories of mathematical cognition offer competing accounts of the interplay
between encoding and calculation in mental arithmetic. Additive models propose that …

Previous work has shown that the cognitive processes involved in mental arithmetic can be
decomposed into three stages: encoding, calculation, and production. Models of mental …

Canadian university students (n= 48) solved simple addition problems in a true/false
verification task with equations in digit format (3+ 4= 8) or written English format (three+ …

In this study, 17 adult participants were trained to solve alphabet–arithmetic problems using
a production task (eg, C+ 3=?). The evolution of their performance across 12 practice …

In our previous studies, we demonstrated that repeated training on an approximate
arithmetic task selectively improves symbolic arithmetic performance (Park & Brannon, 2013 …

Mental arithmetic exhibits various biases. Among those is a tendency to overestimate
addition and to underestimate subtraction outcomes. Does such “operational …

The notion that mental arithmetic is associated with shifts of spatial attention along a
spatially organised mental number representation has received empirical support from three …

Abstract According to LeFevre, Sadesky, and Bisanz (1996), averaging solution latencies in
order to study individuals' arithmetic strategies can result in misleading conclusions …

In this chapter, we attempt first to describe the different emphases inherent in traditional
experimental and individual differences approaches. Next, we discuss the types of cognitive …

An important paradigm in modeling the complexity of mathematical tasks relies on
computational complexity theory, in which complexity is measured through the resources …
