The strategies used during problem-solving are often considered an important indicator of mathematical cognition. These strategies range from observable gestures, like finger counting, to implicit memory strategies like direct retrieval (Geary et al., 1991). Across development, strategy use changes in frequency and type (Siegler, 1987). However, numerous factors can influence both strategy use and accuracy for children and adults alike. The four studies in this international symposium highlight how individual differences in cognitive factors interact with mathematical content, such as variations in problem presentation, as well as how this interaction, in turn, shapes strategy implementation and ultimate math performance.
L'édition 2021 de ce colloque international invite à analyser les conditions de la réussite éducative à travers les nouveaux défis posés aux recherches sur les apprentissages, et en particulier aux recherches sur les politiques et les stratégies …
The MCLS aims at promoting research in the field of mathematical cognition and learning. The third conference of the MCLS was scheduled in Dublin from June 26th to June 29th. Unfortunately, the conference has been cancelled this year because of the …
Pour cette 13ème édition, le Colloque International du RIPSYDEVE devait avoir lieu du 27 au 29 mai 2020 à l'Université de Lorraine, site de Nancy.
What constitutes effective teaching of arithmetical skills in early school years is still uncertain. Finger use could play a crucial role in this acquisition, but some children do not use them spontaneously and studies would be necessary to know if …
