Computational thinking (CT) and the coding element of it are progressively entering in the
primary school curriculum worldwide. Yet, little is known about the effects of these skills on …

In recent years, there has been an increasing focus on the role played by basic numerical
magnitude processing in the typical and atypical development of mathematical skills. In this …

First, executive functions are defined. Then the development of executive functions in
children, from infancy to 10–11 years of age, is briefly described. The relation between the …

This study investigated from a longitudinal retrospective perspective what characterizes and
predicts 6th graders (Mage= 12.95, SD= 0.27) with low (LMA) or high (HMA) math …

This study examined whether long-term abacus-based mental calculation (AMC) training
improved numerical processing efficiency and at what stage of information processing the …

Working memory (WM) and inhibitory control (IC) are two fundamental and supportive
components of executive function (EF) that are critical for school-age children. However, the …

The usual color-word Stroop task, as well as most other Stroop-like paradigms, has provided
invaluable information on the automaticity of word reading. However, investigating …

There are two hypotheses about why individuals have mathematics learning difficulties
(MLD). The core deficit hypothesis claims that disorders in number module which was …

Broad cognitive difficulties have been reported in patients with peripheral vestibular deficit,
especially in the domain of spatial cognition. Processing and manipulating numbers relies …

Introduction The aim of the present study was to probe electrophysiological effects of non-
symbolic numerical processing in 20 children with mathematical learning disabilities (mean …
