最近的研究揭示了数学成绩的个体差异与激活近似数字系统(ANS)的任务表现之间的联系:不同动物物种和所有年龄段的人类共享的原始认知系统。在这里,我们使用了一个简短的实验范式来测试这种关系所提出的一个因果假设:激活ANS可能会提高儿童的符号算术的表现。在2个实验中,儿童谁短暂地练习任务,从事原始近似数值量表现更好地在随后的精确,符号算术问题比儿童给予其他任务,涉及比较和操纵的非数值大小(亮度和长度)。练习效果似乎是特定于数学的,因为在类似的句子完成任务中没有观察到组间差异。这些结果超越了相关性研究,并提供证据表明,非符号数字过程的锻炼可以提高儿童的符号数学的表现。
Recent research reveals a link between individual differences in mathematics achievement and performance on tasks that activate the approximate number system (ANS): a primitive cognitive system shared by diverse animal species and by humans of all ages. Here we used a brief experimental paradigm to test one causal hypothesis suggested by this relationship: activation of the ANS may enhance children's performance of symbolic arithmetic. Over 2 experiments, children who briefly practiced tasks that engaged primitive approximate numerical quantities performed better on subsequent exact, symbolic arithmetic problems than did children given other tasks involving comparison and manipulation of non-numerical magnitudes (brightness and length). The practice effect appeared specific to mathematics, as no differences between groups were observed on a comparable sentence completion task. These results move beyond correlational research and provide evidence that the exercise of non-symbolic numerical processes can enhance children's performance of symbolic mathematics.
