The present study was designed to ascertain whether the cortical dynamics underlying
multiplication fact retrieval can be modulated as a function of arithmetic relatedness. To this …

The solution and verification of single-digit multiplication problems vary in speed and
accuracy. The current study examines whether the number of different digits in a problem …
