De relatie tussen werkgeheugencomponenten en het getalbegrip van Nederlandse kinderen

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between number sense and the different components of working memory in Dutch children in preschool. A sample of 154 children aged five to seven was required to perform tasks designed to assess their number sense and the capacity of their working memory and its different components. The results suggest a significant correlation between the different constructs, implying a positive relationship between number sense and the different components of working memory. Furthermore, working memory appears to predict 37% of the variance in number sense in this sample of young Dutch children.
