The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Instructing First-Grade Children on Patterning Improves Reading and Mathematics (2014, background): “Likewise, better understanding of patterns should result in better mathematics scores according to White et al. (1998) and many educators (e.g., Clements & Sarama, 2007b; Economopolous, 1998; Papic, 2007).”
Pattern Understanding: Relationships With Arithmetic and Reading Development (2017, background): “Nonetheless, some have claimed that patterning is central to early mathematical thinking, particularly pre-algebraic reasoning (19-23).”
Training early visuo-spatial abilities: A controlled classroom-based intervention study (2019, background): “Additionally, so-called “patterning tasks,” which require the repetition of visual patterns, have been linked to math development (Papic, 2007; Papic & Mulligan, 2007).”
Assessing the Development of Preschoolers' Mathematical Patterning (2011, unknown): “, blue, red, blue, red) (Papic, 2007).”
What Is a Pattern? Criteria Used by Teachers and Young Children (2012, background): “…to examine participants’ assumptions regarding familiar images with repeating elements and relate their descriptions to recent research on recursive and repeating unit structures (e.g., Papic, 2007). b. Single repeating element images include the square tiles photo as the primary exemplar.”
