中文摘要
数学能力对人类生活的几乎每一个方面都是必不可少的,
成年人的数学能力存在很大的差异,
与长期健康问题和较高的犯罪率有关(Parsons和Bynner,
2005年)的报告。入学时的数学技能可以预测以后的数学成绩,
比识字技能更晚的整体学术成就的预测因素(Jordan,et al.,二○ ○九年;
邓肯等人,2007年)。因此,提高幼儿的早期数学技能可以
对学业成功甚至人生有着全球性的影响。这个目标
我们的建议是建立在我们研究小组最近的一项发现的基础上,
使用点阵列的近似非符号算术(ApprA)训练导致
精确符号算术(SymA)性能的正迁移(Park和Brannon,In

ApprA培训的认知成分,以评估哪些方面对改善至关重要
符号算术在目标2中,我们测试了关于大脑中的重叠如何的具体预测,
支持近似非符号运算和精确符号运算的区域
产生这种转移效应。例如,我们问ApprA培训是否会改变
顶内沟的神经调谐曲线,这是已知的体现,

ApprA通过改变原始数的意义来改进SymA。第三个目的是提出
在一个多元化的公立学区进行iPad干预研究,以测试ApprA的功效

英文摘要
Mathematical ability is essential for almost every aspect of human existence and yet
there is large variability in math competency in adults and extremely poor math ability is
linked with long-term health problems and higher criminality (Parsons and Bynner,
2005). Math skills at school-entry predict later math achievement and are a better
predictor of later overall academic achievement than literacy skills (Jordan, et al., 2009;
Duncan et al., 2007). Therefore improving early math skills in very young children could
have global effects on academic success and perhaps life outcomes. The goal of this
proposal is to build upon a recent finding from our research group demonstrating that
training with approximate nonsymbolic arithmetic (ApprA) using dot arrays leads to
positive transfer in exact symbolic arithmetic (SymA) performance (Park and Brannon, In
press). In Aim 1 we ask why ApprA training improves SymA. We decompose the
cognitive ingredients of ApprA training to assess which aspects are critical for improving
symbolic arithmetic. In Aim 2 we test specific predictions about how overlap in the brain
regions that support approximate nonsymbolic arithmetic and exact symbolic arithmetic
give rise to this transfer effect. For example, we ask whether ApprA training changes
the neural tuning curves in the intraparietal sulcus, which are known to embody the
mental representation of quantity. Such a finding would provide strong evidence that
ApprA improves SymA by changing the primitive number sense. Finally Aim 3 proposes
an iPad intervention study in a diverse public school district to test the efficacy of ApprA
training to improve SymA in young children. Pilot data is presented for all three aims.
Understanding the relationship between ApprA and SymA could have broad implications
for understanding the roots of human mathematics. While ApprA training is unlikely to
be practically useful as an avenue for improving math competency in adults or older
children who have mastered the symbolic number system it could be critically important
for improving math ability in very young children who have yet to master the symbolic
number system.
