The influence of children’s mathematical competence on performance in mental number line, time knowledge and time perception
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Psychological Research"
DOI: 10.1007/s00426-020-01380-7
Abstract: A growing body of research suggests that space, time and number are represented within a common system. Other studies have shown this relationship is related to the mathematical competency. Here we examined the influence of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bandc.2020.105601
Abstract: Number line estimation (NLE) is an educational task in which children estimate the location of a value (e.g., 25) on a blank line that represents a numerical range (e.g., 0-100). NLE performance is a strong… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cedpsych.2018.10.007
Abstract: Abstract Spatial skills are positively related to mathematical abilities, yet the mechanism of such relation remains unclear. This study examined the mediating role of mental number line representation in the relations between spatial skills and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jecp.2019.06.010
Abstract: Children's ability to estimate fractions on a number line is strongly related to algebra and overall high school math achievement, and number line training leads to better fraction magnitude comparisons compared with area model training.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/dev0000252
Abstract: Children’s ability to place fractions on a number line strongly correlates with math achievement. But does the number line play a causal role in fraction learning or does it simply index more advanced fraction knowledge?… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/dev0000761
Abstract: Kim and Opfer (2017) report data that demonstrate children produce a negatively accelerating (e.g., logarithmic) response pattern in the unbounded number-line task. This pattern of results is the opposite of those generally reported for the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1037/dev0001265
Abstract: Recently, there has been increasing evidence showing that males estimate whole numbers more accurately than females on the number line. However, relatively little is known about what factors contribute to this gender gap. The current… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2203584119
Abstract: Significance The ability to judge numbers exists in various vertebrate species but also in honey bees, thus raising the question of the phylogenetic origins of numerosity systems. Here, we studied if bees, like humans, organize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/access.2022.3211668
Abstract: A sequence of recent papers, including in this journal, has considered the role of measurement scales in information retrieval (IR) experimentation, and presented the argument that (only) uniform-step interval scales should be used. Hence, it… read more here.
