Abstract

This 5-year longitudinal study examined whether high mathematics achievers in primary school had cognitive advantages before entering formal education. High mathematics achievement was defined as performing above Pc 90 in Grades 1 and 3. The predominantly White sample (M age in preschool: 64 months) included 31 high achievers (12 girls) and 114 average achievers (63 girls). We measured children's early numerical abilities, complex mathematical abilities, and general cognitive abilities in preschool (2017). High mathematics achievers had advantages on most tasks in preschool (ds > 0.62). Number order, numeral recognition, and proportional reasoning were unique predictors of belonging to the high-achieving group in primary school. This study shows that the cognitive advantages of high mathematics achievement are already observed in preschool.

开始接受正规教育前数学成绩优秀儿童的认知特点。
这项为期 5 年的纵向研究考察了小学数学成绩优秀的学生在进入正规教育之前是否具有认知优势。数学成绩优秀的定义是在一年级和三年级的成绩超过 Pc 90。样本主要为白人(学龄前年龄:64 个月),包括 31 名成绩优秀的儿童(12 名女孩)和 114 名成绩一般的儿童(63 名女孩)。我们测量了儿童的早期运算能力、复杂数学能力以及学龄前(2017 年)的一般认知能力。数学成绩优秀的儿童在学前阶段的大多数任务中都具有优势(ds > 0.62)。数序、数字识别和比例推理是预测小学阶段属于高成绩群体的独特指标。这项研究表明,数学成绩优异者的认知优势在学龄前就已显现。
