Subclaims¶

q3 i? Children's performance in arithmetic was predicted by their performance on the spatial orientation task, controlling for other spatial, numerical and cognitive measures. → Véronique Cornu 2017

Evidence¶

Véronique Cornu 2017¶

Véronique Cornu, Caroline Hornung, Christine Schiltz, Romain Martin. (2017). The predictive role of spatial skills for arithmetic and number line estimation in kindergarten children. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cogdev.2017.09.002

q3 · i? · associational · r?

Longitudinal hierarchical regression analysis in a kindergarten sample (N = 125) testing whether Time 1 spatial and numerical abilities predicted arithmetic four months later. The article reports that "children’s performance in arithmetic was predicted by their performance on the spatial orientation and visuo-motor integration task". No standardized coefficient is printed in the supplied text.

"Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that children’s performance in arithmetic was predicted by their performance on the spatial orientation and visuo-motor integration task, as well as their knowledge of the Arabic numerals."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• The relation between kindergarten spatial orientation and arithmetic is partially mediated by number line estimation — related
• Kindergarten spatial orientation performance longitudinally predicts number line estimation performance four months later — related
• Visuo-motor integration and Arabic-numeral knowledge also longitudinally predict kindergarten arithmetic — related
• Some aspects of spatial skills are more predictive of mathematical development than others, so the construct must be differentiated — a broader claim this one bears on
