Participants who used conceptually based shortcuts on more problem types had higher algebra scores than participants who had low use of conceptually based shortcuts on most problem types.

Recent work demonstrates that children have difficulty with judging the ordinality of sequences that are in-order but do not match the typical count-list (i.e., in-order non-adjacent sequences, such as 2-4-6). Limited evidence in the literature suggests that dyscalculic children show a similar pattern of behavior. In the present study, we sought to explicitly test the hypothesis that children with developmental dyscalculia struggle primarily with extending notions of ordinality to sequences outside of the count-list. We test this hypothesis using a sample of children with persistent developmental dyscalculia, and a comparison group of typically performing children. Both groups completed an ordinality judgment task, in which triplet sequences were judged as being in-order (e.g., 3-4-5; 2-4-6) or in mixed-order (e.g., 3-5-4; 2-6-4). In line with our prediction, results demonstrate that children with persistent developmental dyscalculia make more errors, compared to typically performing children, but only on the in-order non-adjacent trials (e.g., 2-4-6). Broadly, this finding suggests that ordinality processing abilities are impaired in children with developmental dyscalculia, and that this characteristic appears primarily in extending notions of ordinality beyond adjacent sequences.

We examined whether math attitudes differ by language in multilingual younger adults (ages 18-25). Furthermore, we evaluated the relationships between math attitudes, verbal memory, and calculation fluency in this sample. Eighty-seven French-English multilingual young adults self-reported their math attitudes using the Mathematics Anxiety Scale-Revised (Bai et al., 2009) in both English and French. Participants also self-reported verbal memory, calculation fluency, and general language proficiency in English and French. Results showed that attitudes towards mathematics for English and French were similar. Exploratory factor analysis also confirmed that the extracted factors revealed negative and positive attitudes towards mathematics, with English and French items loading on the same factors. Correlation analysis showed a negative relationship between negative attitudes towards mathematics and verbal memory only in English. This relationship remained statistically significant after controlling for general language proficiency. However, neither positive nor negative math attitudes were correlated with calculation fluency. Building on the examination of symbolic representations of mathematical cognition by Campbell, results from the study were interpreted as the first step to investigating math attitudes in individuals with diverse linguistic backgrounds.

The 13 articles in this special issue highlight the breadth and depth of contemporary research, addressing topics such as the development of early numeracy skills, the interplay between mathematical and reading processes, the cognitive mechanisms supporting arithmetic and algebra, and the role of visuospatial thinking in expert mathematical reasoning. The contributions exemplify methodological innovation, from longitudinal studies and psychometric evaluations to interdisciplinary theoretical models that integrate numerical and linguistic frameworks. Together, they collectively advance theoretical, applied, and interdisciplinary perspectives. This introduction synthesizes the contributions, demonstrating how they collectively inspire future directions for research on numerical and mathematical cognition. We discuss the broader implications of the work while also contextualizing its development within its historical ties to Canadian experimental psychology and the foundational work of pioneers such as the late Jamie I.

Historically, theorizing in these two areas has progressed separately, despite well-documented empirical evidence for a range of shared underlying developmental processes subserving these learning domains. The purpose of this article was to describe the links between the Triple Code Model, an influential model of numerical cognition, and the Triangle Framework, a dominant model of learning to read. We describe several parallels between the theoretical models and discuss how the cognitive mechanisms posited by the Triangle Framework might be used to understand the commonalities in learning processes across these learning domains. In particular, we discuss how the cognitive mechanisms implemented in the Triangle Framework can be used to understand linguistic aspects of numerical cognition, specifically, learning the connections among numerals (e.g., 24) and spoken words (e.g., twenty-four), and linking those to semantic representations of magnitude. Following from these commonalities between the two models, we discuss several ways that interdisciplinary work integrating both models can benefit math cognition research.

However, findings on the association between STM and simple multiplication solving are mixed, potentially due to large interindividual differences in multiplication proficiency within and between samples. The present study aims to explore further the relationship between visual and verbal STM and simple multiplication solving with a large Malaysian sample (N = 230). Adults (age = 17-42) completed an online production-based multiplication-solving task, STM measures (verbal and visuospatial STM tasks), and a demographic survey. A mixed-model analysis found that verbal STM and visual STM predict multiplication performance, with lower span participants having longer reaction times during multiplication solving. Interestingly, we also observed the relationship between verbal STM and multiplication was moderated by interference, the impact of verbal STM was stronger in high-interference problems, while the visual STM-multiplication relation was moderated by problem size, high visual span participants took more advantage of their visual STM when presented with large size problems. Thus, our findings show that both verbal and visual STM in interaction with problem properties predict simple multiplication solving in adults.

To challenge stereotypes, we focus on visuo-spatial thinking by research mathematicians (n = 232). Via the Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal Questionnaire (Blazhenkova & Kozhevnikov, 2009), together with open questions, we ask the following: (1) Are mathematicians visuo-spatial thinkers? (2) Is the degree of visual thinking correlated with mathematical subdiscipline? (3) Which role does visual thinking play in mathematical research? The Object-Spatial Imagery and Verbal Questionnaire results indicate that mathematicians are more strongly visuo-spatial thinkers than scientists, humanities researchers or visual artists. The degree of visuo-spatial thinking does not correlate to how 'visual' the mathematical subdiscipline is as measured by average figure environment per article, obtained through text mining 3,799 arXiv articles. In open questions, two thirds of respondents (n = 222) report using visual mental imagery during mathematical research. Some mathematicians mention metaphors for research that refer to spatial movement, such as rock climbing, moving through a jungle or attacking the problem like an insect. Our study contributes to the research agenda set by Alcock et al. (2016), which aims to improve our understanding of mathematical cognition for the purpose of elucidating the nature of mathematical thinking and inform policymakers to address challenges in mathematics education. We conclude that visualisation plays an important part in the practice of mathematics, contrary to common belief.

Fifty participants read syntactically complex sentences while their eye movements were tracked and answered comprehension questions. The region of interest for the eye fixation analyses was the area where the complexity of the sentence became evident. Participants also completed a visual statistical learning (VSL) task and an author recognition test (ART). There were main effects of statistical learning ability and print exposure, as well as an interaction between the two on both first pass and total reading times. Reading times decreased with increasing VSL scores for participants with higher ART scores, whereas reading times increased with increasing VSL scores for participants with lower ART scores. In addition, participants with better statistical learning ability and greater print exposure had higher scores on the comprehension questions. These results demonstrate that efficient processing of complex syntactic structures depends on both good statistical learning skills and exposure to a large amount of print so that these skills have the opportunity to extract the relevant statistical relationships in the language.

Direct instruments (e.g., plethysmography, questionnaires) are the most widely used, but they have notable shortcomings, including a lack of response specificity in certain groups and a risk of false responding. Indirect instruments (e.g., reaction time), where preferences are assessed unobtrusively, may overcome these limitations and could therefore be used to measure sexual preferences more effectively. One promising instrument, published by Jiang et al. (2006), used an ocular suppression paradigm that exposed participants to sexual images while simultaneously masking them from conscious perception. Jiang et al. (2006) found that these \"invisible\" images attracted visual attention when they matched the participants' sexual preferences for nude male or female images and, in the case of heterosexual men, repelled attention when they did not match the participants' preferences. Here, we attempt to replicate these findings over two studies. In the first experiment, using a stereoscopic apparatus with 22 men and 25 women and a validation test (time spent rating the same nude images), we found no attentional attraction to or repulsion of invisible images even though the rating times for the same images were related to participants' sexual orientation. In the second experiment, with 32 men, we replaced the stereoscopic apparatus with a virtual reality headset, offering better control over stimulus delivery. Again, the invisible images produced no attentional attraction or repulsion. Our results suggest that the interocular suppression paradigm is not an effective method for assessing sexual preferences.
