Behind Mathematical Learning Disabilities: What about Visual Perception and Motor Skills?. (2012, result): “Our findings are in line with studies finding a relation between visual perception and mathematics (Kulp et al., 2004; Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001; Sortor&Kulp, 2003).”
Measuring School Readiness: Conceptual and Practical Considerations (2006, background): “The few that show strongest predictive relations (e.g., Augustyniak, Cook-Cottone, & Calabrese, 2004; Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001; Wood, Powell, & Knight, 1984), although encouraging, have methodological characteristics that limit their generalizability, and suggest additional research on the specific…”
School readiness gains made by ethnically diverse children in poverty attending center-based childcare and public school pre-kindergarten programs ☆ (2008, background): “…ECCRN, 2005a; Shonkoff & Phillips, 2000), and that a successful transition to school buffers children’s future academic and behavioral development (Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001; Pianta & Kraft-Sayre, 2003; This article, which was first-authored by the Editor, went through the regular, double-blind,…”
The Predictive Utility of Kindergarten Screening for Math Difficulty (2010, background): “Only four studies (Jordan et al., 2007; Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001; Locuniak & Jordan, 2008; Mazzocco & Thompson, 2005) allowed for greater than 12 months before assessing outcome.”
Young girls’ arithmetic and spatial skills: The distal and proximal roles of family socioeconomics and home learning experiences (2012, background): “Previous empirical work has demonstrated a relation between early verbal skills and both numerical and arithmetic performance, perhaps because verbal skills are central to acquiring numerical vocabulary (Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001; LeFevre et al., 2010).”
The Relationship of Young Children's Motor Skills to Later School Achievement (2006, background): “Since previous studies reported that visual motor skills have differential predictability for aspects of achievement (i.e., visual motor skills are more predictive of mathematics than of reading) (Goldstein & Britt, 1994; Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001 ), separate analyses were conducted on reading and ma”
Longitudinal contributions of executive functioning and visual-spatial skills to mathematics learning in young Chinese children (2019, background): “Although visual-spatial skills have been shown to be linked with mathematics (e.g. Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001), there are still some studies indicating their nonsignificant associations (e.g. Chung et al., 2017; Fletcher, 1985).”
Women's underrepresentation in science: sociocultural and biological considerations. (2009, background): “…reporting that kindergartners’ visual integration and discrimination of geometric forms predicts unique variance in 4thgrade mathematics (Kulp, 1999; Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001) and that block-playing skill in kindergarten correlates strongly with later mathematical ability (Wolfgang et al., 2001).”
Core numerical skills for learning mathematics in children aged five to eight years – a working model for educators (2016, background): “…not been in focus in longitudinal studies aiming to predict math development (Aubrey et al. 2006; Aunola et al. 2003, 2004; Aunola, Leskinen, and Nurmi 2006; Huntsinger et al. 2000; Jordan et al. 2009, 2010; Kurdek and Sinclair 2001; Lachance and Mazzocco 2006; Ounatsu-Arviolommi and Nurmi 2000).”
How socioeconomic status, executive functioning and verbal interactions contribute to early academic achievement in Chinese children (2017, result): “…with reading (Huang & Hanley, 1995; Zhou, McBride-Chang, & Wong, 2014) and mathematics (Assel et al., 2003; Chen, Song, Lau, Wong, & Tang, 2003; Kurdek & Sinclair, 2001) in some studies, other previous research has not found associations between visual skills and reading (e.g. Hu & Catts,…”
