  Article:   WORKING MEMORY ABILITIES AS PREDICTORS OF MATHEMATICAL PERFORMANCE IN FIRST GRADE.

  Abstract:  In the current study, we have investigated the predictive role of working memory on mathematical performance in first grade. We have analyzed separately the relation among several measures of working memory and Mathematical knowledge. Therefore, we assessed the three working memory components, based on Baddeley and Hitch’s model (1974), in the beginning of first grade. Seven months later, we administered the measures of Mathematical knowledge. Analyses showed that all three components of working memory were significantly correlated with the Math knowledge test.

Keywords: working memory; mathematical performance; central executive component, phonological loop, visual spatial sketchpad.
