Language And Culture In Mathematical Cognition (Volume 4) (Mathematical Cognition And Learning (Print), Volume 4)

The fourth volume in the Mathematical and Cognition and Learning series focuses on the role of linguistic and cultural factors in math cognition and development. It covers a wide range of topics, including: analogical mapping in numerical development, arithmetic fact retrieval in the bilingual brain, cross-cultural comparisons of mathematics achievement, the shaping of numerical processing by number word construction as contrasted with reading direction, the influence of Head Start programs on the learning on symbolic numerical skills in preschool dual-language learners, mathematical skills of children with specific language impairments, the role of culture and language in creating associations between number and space, electrophysiological studies of linguistic traces in core knowledge at the neural level, and how studying an indigenous body counting system can reveal the interplay between cultural and linguistic processes in children's mathematical development. Includes cutting-edge findings, innovative measures, recent methodological advances, and ground-breaking theoretical developments Synthesizes research from various sub-domains of math cognition research Covers the full complement of research in mathematical thinking and learning Informs researchers, scholars, educators, students, and policymakers
