How Mental Arithmetic Affects High School Math Performance

Price, Mazzocco, and Ansari (2013) conducted a study to investigate the brain mechanisms involved in mental arithmetic and their connection to high school math performance. By examining brain activity during single-digit calculations, the researchers highlighted how specific neural patterns relate to mathematical competence, measured through PSAT math scores. This work …

Identifying the Underlying Dimensions of the JCCES Mathematical Problems using Alternating Least Squares Scaling

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the underlying dimensions of the Jouve Cerebrals Crystallized Educational Scale (JCCES) Mathematical Problems (MP) using Alternating Least Squares Scaling (ALSCAL). The dataset consisted of intercorrelations between 38 MP items, with 588 participants. Various dimensional solutions were assessed for the goodness of fit. A 4-dimensional …
