Flexible Attention to Magnitudes and Early Math
Conditions: Mathematics Abilities
Sex: All
Ages: 3 Years – 5 Years
Healthy volunteers: 1
Phase: NA
Enrollment: 116
Sponsor: University of Dayton
Location: United States
Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the malleability of preschool-aged children's flexible attention to numerical and spatial magnitudes.
The main questions it aims to answer are: Does a flexible attention to magnitudes intervention improve young children's math abilities in the area of flexible attention to magnitudes as well as executive functioning and number line estimation skills?
Does this intervention improve young children's math abilities more than a traditional counting intervention?
"Does the method of flexible attention to magnitudes intervention affect how much children improve in their math abilities?Participants will complete a pre-test and post-test in their math abilities and three intervention sessions with a trained experimenter.
Each intervention session will involve reading researcher-created books with one-on-one with children for about 20 minutes.
Children will be assigned to one of four intervention conditions:Size to Number Intervention ConditionSize and Number Mixed Intervention ConditionTraditional Counting InterventionNon-Numerical Control Intervention
