Large individual differences in children’s mathematics achievement are observed from the start of schooling. Previous research has identified three cognitive skills that are independent predictors of mathematics achievement: procedural skill, concept...

When is working memory important for arithmetic?: the impact of strategy and age (2017)
Journal Article
Cragg, L., Richardson, S., Hubber, P. J., Keeble, S., & Gilmore, C. (in press). When is working memory important for arithmetic?: the impact of strategy and age. PLoS ONE, 12(12), Article e0188693. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0188693

Our ability to perform arithmetic relies heavily on working memory, the manipulation and maintenance of information in mind. Previous research has found that in adults, procedural strategies, particularly counting, rely on working memory to a greater...

Direct and indirect influences of executive functions on mathematics achievement (2017)
Journal Article
Cragg, L., Keeble, S., Richardson, S., Roome, H. E., & Gilmore, C. (2017). Direct and indirect influences of executive functions on mathematics achievement. Cognition, 162, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cognition.2017.01.014

Achievement in mathematics is predicted by an individual’s domain-specific factual knowledge, procedural skill and conceptual understanding as well as domain-general executive function skills. In this study we investigated the extent to which executi... Read More about Direct and indirect influences of executive functions on mathematics achievement.
