The Math Anxiety-Performance Link (2017, background): “Conversely, math anxiety is not related to low-working-memory students’ math learning at this age (Ramirez et al., 2013; Vukovic et al., 2013; Wang & Shah, 2014).”
Math Anxiety (2015, background): “However, because math anxiety can begin as early as first grade (Ramirez et al., 2013; Maloney et al., 2015), we believe that all teacher education programs in which there is a STEM component (i.”
Math Performance and Academic Anxiety Forms, from Sociodemographic to Cognitive Aspects: a Meta-analysis on 906,311 Participants (2021, background): “In some studies, MA has been reported in students attending second grade, which is one of the earlier primary school grades (Jameson, 2014; Ma&Kishor, 1997; Ramirez et al., 2013; Vukovic, Kieffer, et al., 2013a).”
Learning environment, attitudes and anxiety across the transition from primary to secondary school mathematics (2019, background): “Several studies also suggest that mathematics anxiety can begin at an early age (Aarnos and Perkkila 2012; Jackson and Leffingwell 1999; Ramirez et al. 2013; Scarpello 2007).”
Math Anxiety: Past Research, Promising Interventions, and a New Interpretation Framework (2018, background): “At the early elementary school level, we typically find a downward trend: Several studies examining children’s math anxiety between first and third grade (Krinzinger et al., 2009; Ramirez et al., 2016; Ramirez et al., 2013; Vukovic, Kieffer, et al., 2013) report a reduction in average math anxiety a”
Math Anxiety in Students With and Without Math Learning Difficulties (2019, background): “Otherwise, early anxieties can have a snowball effect and eventually lead students to avoid mathematics courses and career options for math majors (Ramirez et al., 2013).”
Psychometric properties of the Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (AMAS) in Italian primary school children (2017, background): “…the Mathematics Anxiety Survey (MAXS; Gierl & Bisanz, 1995); the Scale for Early Mathematics Anxiety (SEMA; Wu et al., 2012); the Child Math Anxiety Questionnaire (CMAQ; Ramirez et al., 2013); and, more recently, the Revised Child Math Anxiety Questionnaire (CMAQ-R; Ramirez et al., 2016).”
Contributions of longitudinal studies to evolving definitions and knowledge of developmental dyscalculia (2013, background): “Moreover, mathematics anxiety may primarily affect children with higher levels of working memory [73,84].”
Reading Anxiety: An Early Affective Impediment to Children’s Success in Reading (2018, methodology): “The smiley face scale was anchored by what we described as a “not nervous at all” face (scored as 1) and at the other end, a “very, very nervous face” (scored as 5) (Ramirez et al., 2013; Wu, Barth, Amin, Malcarne, & Menon, 2012).”
