The relationship between executive functions (EF) and academic achievement is well-
established, but leveraging this insight to improve educational outcomes remains elusive …

Understanding how the numerical magnitudes of fractions are accessed is a topic of major
interest in numerical cognition and mathematics education. Only a few studies have …

The present study tests two predictions stemming from the hypothesis that a source of
difficulty with rational numbers is interference from whole number magnitude knowledge …

The natural number bias (NNB) in arithmetic operations refers to the application of natural
number properties to reasoning about rational numbers. Previous studies found the NNB …

School mathematics comprises a diversity of concepts whose cognitive complexity is still
poorly understood, a chief example being fractions. These are typically taught in middle …

Processing rational numbers is difficult for many children. The natural number bias is one
possible explanation for why children struggle with rational numbers. It refers to the …

The phenomenon of “the more targets, the higher probability” often occurs when people
perform nonsymbolic probability judgment tasks. However, it remains unclear whether …

Introduction People often use heuristics derived from natural number tasks to solve fraction
comparison tasks. For instance, one may falsely consider a fraction with a larger natural …

Students often rely on flawed strategies to compare fractions, focusing on individual
components rather than rational magnitudes. An open question is whether using these …
