Influence of Domain-General Abilities and Prior Division Competence on Fifth-Graders’ Fraction Understanding [PDF]

International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
The present study analyzed the relationship between domain-general abilities and fraction knowledge in fifth grade, and investigated the mediating role of division competence in that relationship. Children (n = 175) were assessed in fourth grade on domain-general abilities (selective attention, working memory, fluid intelligence) and on division ...

Beyond the dualism between domain-general and domain-specific abilities: a developmental approach to mathematical learning

Frontiers in Developmental Psychology
Understanding how cognitive abilities support mathematical learning across development remains a central question in psychology. Traditionally, scietific literature has distinguished between domain-specific abilities, referring to processes specifically ...

Domain-general abilities applied to domain-specific tasks: Sensitivity to probabilities in perception, cognition, and language

Lingua, 1994
Abstract Perceptual and cognitive abilities that are species- and domain-specific may nonetheless have components that are widespread across species and apply to numerous domains. For example, all theories of sentence parsing are constrained by the operations of a limited-capacity memory that is a general characteristic of cognition.

Match me if you can: Evidence for a domain-general visual comparison ability [PDF]

Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2022
AbstractVisual comparison—comparing visual stimuli (e.g., fingerprints) side by side and determining whether they originate from the same or different source (i.e., “match”)—is a complex discrimination task involving many cognitive and perceptual processes.

The neural correlates of domain-general visual ability

Cerebral Cortex, 2022
Abstract People vary in their general ability to compare, identify, and remember objects. Research using latent variable modeling identifies a domain-general visual recognition ability (called o) that reflects correlations among different visual tasks and categories. We measure associations between a psychometrically-sensitive measure of

The Cognitive Profile of Math Difficulties: A Meta-Analysis Based on Clinical Criteria

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
Math difficulties (MD) manifest across various domain-specific and domain-general abilities. However, the existing cognitive profile of MD is incomplete and thus not applicable in typical settings such as schools or clinics. So far, no review has applied

Domain-general enhancements of metacognitive ability through adaptive training [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2018
Abstract The metacognitive ability to introspect about self-performance varies substantially across individuals. Given that effective monitoring of performance is deemed important for effective behavioural control, intervening to improve metacognition may have widespread benefits, for example in educational and ...

Changing minds about climate change: a pervasive role for domain-general metacognition

Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, 2023
Updating one’s beliefs about the causes and effects of climate change is crucial for altering attitudes and behaviours. Importantly, metacognitive abilities - insight into the (in)correctness of one’s beliefs- play a key role in the formation of ...

The componential nature of arithmetical cognition: some important questions

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
Research on typically developing children and adults and people with developmental and acquired dyscalculia converges in indicating that arithmetical ability is not unitary but is made up of many different components. Categories of components include non-

Domain‐specific knowledge and domain‐general abilities in children's science problem‐solving

British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2023
Abstract Background Problem‐solving in early and middle childhood is of high relevance for cognitive developmental research and educational support. Previous research on science problem‐solving has focussed on the process and strategies of children handling challenging tasks, but less on ...
