TLDR
Findings provide support for the assumption that children with MDs have a central executive deficit connected to concurrent processing and storage of numerical and visual information.About:

Working memory and mathematics: A review of developmental, individual difference, and cognitive approaches.
TL;DR: The authors reviewed four approaches that address the relation between working memory and math: dual task studies establishing the role of working memory during on-line math performance; individual difference studies examining working memory in children with math difficulties; studies of working attention as a predictor of mathematical outcomes; and longitudinal studies of the relationship between working attention and math.

Working memory and mathematics in primary school children: A meta-analysis
Ilona Friso-van den Bos,Sanne H.G. van der Ven,Evelyn H. Kroesbergen,Johannes E. H. Van Luit +3 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a meta-analysis was conducted to investigate the strength of the relation between mathematics and working memory components and to establish whether the variation in the association is caused by tests, sample characteristics and study and other methodological characteristics.

Skills underlying mathematics: The role of executive function in the development of mathematics proficiency
Lucy Cragg,Camilla Gilmore +1 more
TL;DR: The authors reviewed the literature to assess concurrent relationships between mathematics and executive function skills, and highlighted key theoretical issues within the field and identified future avenues for research, highlighting the role of executive function skill in the performance of mathematical calculations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Development of Quantity to Number-Word Linkage as a Precursor of Mathematical School Achievement and Mathematical Difficulties: Findings from a Four-Year Longitudinal Study.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of specific and non-specific precursors on mathematical school achievement, finding that preschool quantity-number competencies predicted mathematical achievement in primary school, and basic arithmetic fact retrieval in Grade 1 had an impact on early mathematics school achievement.
Journal ArticleDOI
A meta-analysis of mathematics and working memory: Moderating effects of working memory domain, type of mathematics skill, and sample characteristics
TL;DR: A meta-analysis of 110 studies with 829 effect sizes found a significant medium correlation of mathematics and WM, r =.35, 95% confidence interval [32,.37] as discussed by the authors.

The unity and diversity of executive functions and their contributions to complex "Frontal Lobe" tasks: a latent variable analysis.
Akira Miyake,Naomi P. Friedman,Michael J. Emerson,Alexander H. Witzki,Amy Howerter,Tor D. Wager +5 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that it is important to recognize both the unity and diversity ofExecutive functions and that latent variable analysis is a useful approach to studying the organization and roles of executive functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Individual differences in working memory and reading
TL;DR: The reading span, the number of final words recalled, varied from two to five for 20 college students and was correlated with three reading comprehension measures, including verbal SAT and tests involving fact retrieval and pronominal reference.
Journal ArticleDOI
A capacity theory of comprehension: individual differences in working memory.
TL;DR: A theory of the way working memory capacity constrains comprehension is proposed, which proposes that both processing and storage are mediated by activation and that the total amount of activation available in working memory varies among individuals.
Book
Human memory : theory and practice
TL;DR: This book discusses memory, Emotion and Cognition, and the role of Memory in Cognition - Working Memory, as well as Implicit Memory and Recollection.
