Abstract
"The aims of the project were as follows: 1. To examine differences between the model and symbolic methods from a cognitive processing and a neuroanatomical perspective. 2. To examine the relationship between visuo-spatial memory, executive functioning, and mathematical achievement. 3. To examine the connections novice and expert problem solvers make regarding the model and symbolic methods. 4. To examine the effect of performance pressure on working memory resource availability and its consequent impact on mathematical performance. "-- [p. 1] of executive summary.
