Cognitive Predictors of Achievement Growth in Mathematics: A Five Year Longitudinal Study (2011, unknown): “…on measures of working memory and on mathematics achievement tests and specific mathematical cognition tasks (below) is well established (DeStefano & LeFevre, 2004 Whether assessed concurrently or 1 or more years earlier, the higher the capacity of the central executive the better the…”
The relationship between visuospatial sketchpad capacity and children's mathematical skills (2008, background): “There is now a wealth of evidence to support the notion that working memory plays a role in performing mathematical problems (eg, DeStefano & LeFevre, 2004 ).”
Working Memory and Children’s Mathematical Skills: Implications for mathematical development and mathematics curricula (2006, background): “It has been suggested that complex mathematical problems may recruit central executive resources to co-ordinate various stages of the solution process (DeStefano & LeFevre, 2004) and maintain interim results (Fürst & Hitch, 2000; Logie et al., 1994).”
Strategies and flexibility in mental calculation (2009, methodology): “ DeStefano and LeFevre (2004) also note that remembering the operands is important in some strategies, although in others it is less important.”
