Individual Differences in Arithmetic by Ann Dowker

Individual Differences in Arithmetic by Ann Dowker

Reviews the research on the subject of arithmetical ability and presents evidence to support a componential view of arithmetic. Focusing primarily on children, but including discussion of arithmetical cognition in healthy adults and neuropsychological patients, this book covers the central components of arithmetic.

'This book has managed to integrate relevant material from diverse, but nevertheless, complementary literaturesI am very impressed by the range and thoroughness of the research that has gone into the text. It is a great achievement to bring all of this together in a way that conveys the diversity of mathematical learning and thinking in a clear and authoritative text.' - John Adams, The University of Durham

'Individual Differences in Arithmetic makes a highly important, original contribution to our understanding of how children learn to do arithmetic and why so many fail. Ann Dowker successfully integrates findings across disciplines, countries, and time periods to present a comprehensive picture of children's individual differences in arithmetic. It is highly readable and should be accessible to a wide audience of scholars, practitioners, and anyone else interested in children's math.' - Nancy C. Jordan, School of Education, University of Delaware

Ann Dowker is University Research Lecturer in the Department of Experimental Psychology, University of Oxford.
