Journal Article
Hubber, P. J., Gilmore, C., & Cragg, L. (2019). Mathematics students demonstrate superior visuo-spatial working memory to humanities students under conditions of low central executive processing load. Journal of Numerical Cognition, 5(2), 189-219. https://doi.org/10.5964/jnc.v5i2.175

Previous research has demonstrated that working memory performance is linked to mathematics achievement. Most previous studies have involved children and arithmetic rather than more advanced forms of mathematics. This study compared the performance o...

Interactive apps prevent gender discrepancies in early grade mathematics in a low‐income country in Sub‐Sahara Africa (2019)
Journal Article
Pitchford, N. J., Chigeda, A., & Hubber, P. J. (2019). Interactive apps prevent gender discrepancies in early grade mathematics in a low‐income country in Sub‐Sahara Africa. Developmental Science, 22(5), Article e12864. https://doi.org/10.1111/desc.12864

Globally, gender differences are reported in the early acquisition of reading and mathematics as girls tend to outperform boys in reading whereas boys tend to outperform girls in mathematics. This can have long‐term impact resulting in an under repre... Read More about Interactive apps prevent gender discrepancies in early grade mathematics in a low‐income country in Sub‐Sahara Africa.
