The aim of this project is to investigate how visual-spatial representations of numbers enhance practice to promote the use of retrieval-based over counting-based strategies for children learning early arithmetic. About one-third of Australian children stay reliant on counting strategies for basic arithmetic, despite these being associated with lower achievement in mathematics in later years. Expected outcomes of this project are new understandings of how problem-answer associations can be strengthened in memory and the development of tools to promote retrieval-based strategies. Potential benefits include children who are better prepared to take on higher-level mathematics in secondary school and, subsequently, more numerate citizens.

本研究的目的是探讨数字的视觉空间表征如何促进儿童早期算术学习中基于检索策略的使用。大约三分之一的澳大利亚儿童仍然依赖于基本算术的计数策略，尽管这些策略与晚年数学成绩较低有关。该项目的预期成果是对如何在记忆中加强问题-答案关联的新理解，以及开发促进基于检索的策略的工具。潜在的好处包括儿童在中学更好地准备接受更高水平的数学，从而使更多的公民具有计算能力。
