Short-Term Memory, Working Memory, and Executive Functioning in Preschoolers: Longitudinal Predictors of Mathematical Achievement at Age 7 Years
TL;DR: Correlational and regression analyses revealed that visual short-term and working memory were found to specifically predict math achievement at each time point, while executive function skills predicted learning in general rather than learning in one specific domain.
Journal ArticleDOI
Executive functioning as a predictor of children's mathematics ability: Inhibition, switching, and working memory
Rebecca Bull,Gaia Scerif +1 more
TL;DR: It was found that mathematical ability was significantly correlated with all measures of executive functioning, with the exception of dual-task performance, and regression analyses revealed that each executive function measure predicted unique variance in mathematics ability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental changes in executive functioning.
TL;DR: There was substantial task-based variation in developmental patterns on the various tasks, and confirmatory factor analyses and tests for longitudinal factorial invariance showed that data from the 5- to 13-year-olds conformed to a two-factor structure, and for the 15- year-olds, a well-separated three-Factor structure was found.
Journal ArticleDOI
Children's arithmetical difficulties: contributions from processing speed, item identification, and short-term memory
Rebecca Bull,Rhona S. Johnston +1 more
TL;DR: It was concluded that children with arithmetic difficulties have problems specifically in automating basic arithmetic facts which may stem from a general speed of processing deficit.
Journal ArticleDOI
Executive Functioning and Mathematics Achievement
Rebecca Bull,Kerry Lee +1 more
TL;DR: The importance of executive functioning (EF) skills in mathematical achievement is well established, and researchers have moved from just measuring working memory or updating to an inclusion of other EF skills, namely, inhibition and shifting.
