We research ordinality judgment, mental arithmetic, multi-media information representation, and rational number understanding in adults using response times and eye-tracking techniques. We also examine the early development of these processes in children and their connection to mathematical skills.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Early Math Assessment at School (EMA@School)\u00a0 The AIM Collective (Assessment and\u00a0Instruction for\u00a0Mathematics) LLAMA (Language\u00a0Learning\u00a0And\u00a0Math\u00a0Achievement) ToyBox The Literacy Development Project The Studies of Fundamental Cognitive Processes<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":635,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cu_dining_location_slug":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_page_type":[],"class_list":["post-300","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_post_thumbnail":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/300\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":820,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/300\/revisions\/820"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/635"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_page_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/mathlab\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_page_type?post=300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
