Mathematics Anxiety, Working Memory, and Mathematics Performance in Secondary-School Children.
TL;DR: Analysis of academic achievement and cognitive profiles of students with high math anxiety and low math anxiety showed that HMA students were weak in several measures of mathematics achievement, but not in reading and writing skills, and that students with HMA reported lower scores on short-term memory and WM performances.

The involvement of working memory in children's exact and approximate mental addition.
TL;DR: The involvement of working memory was examined in two types of mental calculation tasks: exact and approximate and revealed that both approximate calculation and carrying procedures demand particularly high WM resources that vary according to the task's constraints.
Journal ArticleDOI
Math anxiety and developmental dyscalculia: A study on working memory processes.
TL;DR: Knowing the underlying cognitive processes that differentiate why children with developmental dyscalculia and high mathematics anxiety fail in math could have both educational and clinical implications.
