Abstract

Arithmetic requires the use of multiple cognitive processes, such as short-term memory (STM). However, findings on the association between STM and simple multiplication solving are mixed, potentially due to large interindividual differences in multiplication proficiency within and between samples. The present study aims to explore further the relationship between visual and verbal STM and simple multiplication solving with a large Malaysian sample (N = 230). Adults (age = 17-42) completed an online production-based multiplication-solving task, STM measures (verbal and visuospatial STM tasks), and a demographic survey. A mixed-model analysis found that verbal STM and visual STM predict multiplication performance, with lower span participants having longer reaction times during multiplication solving. Interestingly, we also observed the relationship between verbal STM and multiplication was moderated by interference, the impact of verbal STM was stronger in high-interference problems, while the visual STM-multiplication relation was moderated by problem size, high visual span participants took more advantage of their visual STM when presented with large size problems. Thus, our findings show that both verbal and visual STM in interaction with problem properties predict simple multiplication solving in adults. Hypotheses on the concrete mechanisms involved in these relationships are discussed. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

言语和视觉短时记忆可预测乘法运算任务的成绩:来自马来西亚样本的证据。
算术需要使用多种认知过程,如短时记忆(STM)。然而,有关 STM 与简单乘法口诀解法之间关系的研究结果却不尽相同,这可能是由于样本内部和样本之间的乘法口诀熟练程度存在巨大的个体差异。本研究旨在通过大样本马来西亚人(N = 230)进一步探讨视觉和言语 STM 与简单乘法运算之间的关系。成人(年龄 = 17-42)完成了一项基于生产的在线乘法求解任务、STM 测量(言语和视觉空间 STM 任务)和一项人口调查。混合模型分析发现,言语 STM 和视觉 STM 可以预测乘法运算的成绩,跨度较低的参与者在乘法运算过程中反应时间较长。有趣的是,我们还观察到,言语 STM 与乘法运算之间的关系受到干扰的调节,言语 STM 对高干扰问题的影响更大;而视觉 STM 与乘法运算之间的关系则受到问题大小的调节,当遇到大问题时,视觉跨度高的参与者会更多地利用视觉 STM。因此,我们的研究结果表明,言语和视觉 STM 与问题属性的相互作用可预测成人的简单乘法求解能力。我们还讨论了有关这些关系的具体机制的假设。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。

期刊介绍: The Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology publishes original research papers that advance understanding of the field of experimental psychology, broadly considered. This includes, but is not restricted to, cognition, perception, motor performance, attention, memory, learning, language, decision making, development, comparative psychology, and neuroscience. The journal publishes - papers reporting empirical results that advance knowledge in a particular research area; - papers describing theoretical, methodological, or conceptual advances that are relevant to the interpretation of empirical evidence in the field; - brief reports (less than 2,500 words for the main text) that describe new results or analyses with clear theoretical or methodological import.
