• Learning to Reason Deductively: Math Word Problem Solving as Complex Relation Extraction (2022, background): “Such an analysis demonstrates the strong interpretability of our deductive reasoner, and highlights the important connection between math word problem solving and reading comprehension, a topic that has been studied in educational psychology (Vilenius-Tuohimaa et al., 2008).”
• Primary school text comprehension predicts mathematical word problem-solving skills in secondary school (2016, background): “As an exception, Vilenius-Tuohimaa et al. (2008) investigated associations between reading comprehension skills and math skills after text-reading fluency was controlled for among fourth graders.”
• What Teachers Say About Student Difficulties Solving Mathematical Word Problems in Grades 2-5 (2013, background): “Also of international concern, a study was conducted by Vilenius-Tuohimaa, Aunola, and Nurmi (2008) to investigate the association between mathematical performance and reading skill.”
