Abstract


Cognitive strategies is a psychological operation, the main point to cognitive goals through the use of strategies, you can achieve the purpose of problem-solving. It has been more attention to the relationship between working memory and math anxiety, there is little impact on children's mental arithmetic cognitive strategies to explore. In view of this, the design of the two sub-studies, with Notes on working memory, mathematics anxiety investigate the impact of third grade children's mental arithmetic cognitive strategies to select and execute the. Research different working memory span of 90 third-grade students, showing varying degrees of difficulty with the computer addition and multiplication mental arithmetic problem, their mental arithmetic cognitive strategy selection and execution characteristics were investigated. The results show that: (1) high working memory span children to use strategies to extract the answers to your questions directly from the long-term memory the correct extraction strategy, execution speed significantly higher than the low working memory span group children, the remaining strategy three groups of children the correctness of the implementation, the speed difference is not significant. (2) the impact of the addition to the selection and implementation of the strategy of the group of children was not significant, multiplication significant differences in the selection and implementation of the strategy of the group of children. The low low working memory span of children adaptability of the types of questions. (3) The item difficulty of strategy selection and implementation of the three groups of children; simple subject, policy enforcement effect of different working memory span of children was not significantly different strategy choices of high working memory span of children; complex subject, This efficient strategy on the use of direct extraction answers, and a higher rate of correct policy enforcement. Different math anxiety levels of 90 third grade children's mental arithmetic performance of cognitive strategies were discussed, the results indicate that (: 1) the selection and implementation of math anxiety on children's mental arithmetic cognitive strategies have an impact. Low anxiety children to use more efficient extraction strategy, and the correct rate policy enforcement and speed is very high; high math anxiety group on the in policy enforcement correctness and speed are lower. (2) In addition on the subject, the three sets of math anxiety children little difference in the strategy of choice, differences in the implementation of the strategy; multiplication on the subject, math anxiety have an impact on strategy selection and execution. (3) The item difficulty strategy selection and implementation of the different degree of math anxiety children, children with high math anxiety tend to use more inefficient strategy and policy enforcement slower.
