q3 i? The association between inhibition and non-symbolic numerical magnitude processing was not univocal: an association appeared with the non-numerical stroop task but not with the numerical stroop task. → Bellon E 2016

Evidence¶

Bellon E 2016¶

Bellon E, Fias W and De Smedt B (2016) Are Individual Differences in Arithmetic Fact Retrieval in Children Related to Inhibition? Front. Psychol. 7:825. https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00825

q3 · i? · associational · r2

Exploratory correlational analysis in 86 third graders testing whether domain-general inhibition explains non-symbolic task performance; the non-numerical stroop also associated with symbolic processing, but these associations did not explain the magnitude-processing–fact-retrieval link.

"However, the results on the association between inhibition and the non-symbolic numerical magnitude processing task were not so univocal. We observed an association with the non-numerical stroop task, but found no association with the numerical stroop task."

Discussion¶

Learner Variables¶

• Number Sense — predictor: learners who differ on it differ in outcomes
