The contribution of the three core components of working memory (WM) to the development
of mathematical skills in young children is poorly understood. The relation between specific …

While there is evidence for an association between the development of reading and
arithmetic, the precise locus of this relationship remains to be determined. Findings from …

It is assumed that basic numerical competencies are important building blocks for more
complex arithmetic skills. The current study aimed at evaluating this interrelation in a …

Most studies on mathematics learning in the field of educational neuroscience have focused
on the neural correlates of very elementary numerical processing skills in children. Little is …

This article describes UMA (Unified Model of Arithmetic), a theory of children's arithmetic
implemented as a computational model. UMA builds on FARRA (Fraction Arithmetic Reflects …

In a first experiment, adults were asked to solve one-digit additions, subtractions and
