Abstract

Background

Recent studies have revealed the association between mapping and arithmetic (Ferres-Forga et al., J. Numer. Cogn., 8, 2022, 123; LeFevre et al., J. Numer. Cogn., 8, 2022, 1).

Aim

The underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Materials & Methods

The current study recruited 118 kindergarten children and followed up on them three times at 6-month intervals. They completed measures to assess mapping skills (T1), non-verbal IQ (T1), numeral knowledge (T2), inhibitory control (T2), analogical reasoning (T2) and arithmetic (T3).

Results

The results showed that mapping accounted for significant variance in arithmetic ability over and above age, gender and non-verbal IQ. Furthermore, analogical reasoning played an important role in the relationship between mapping and mathematics ability.

Discussion

The findings suggest the association between mapping and mathematics ability prior to formal schooling.

Conclusion

Analogical reasoning, rather than numeral knowledge or inhibitory control, may drive that association in young children.

映射对算术的纵向贡献：数字知识、抑制或类比推理重要吗？

背景：最近的研究揭示了绘图与算术之间的联系（Ferres-Forga 等人，J. Numer.Cogn.，8，2022，123；LeFevre 等人，J. Numer.Cogn.，8，2022，1）。目的：基本机制仍不清楚：本研究招募了 118 名幼儿园儿童，并对他们进行了三次跟踪调查，每次间隔 6 个月。他们完成了测评测绘技能（T1）、非语言智商（T1）、数字知识（T2）、抑制控制（T2）、类比推理（T2）和算术（T3）的测量：结果表明，在年龄、性别和非语言智商之外，映射对算术能力的影响显著。此外，类比推理在映射与数学能力的关系中发挥了重要作用：讨论：研究结果表明，在接受正规学校教育之前，映射与数学能力之间存在关联：结论：类比推理，而非数字知识或抑制性控制，可能是幼儿数学能力与绘图能力之间关系的驱动因素。
