There is extensive evidence for the involvement of working memory in mathematical attainment. This study aims to identify the relative contributions of verbal, spatial-simultaneous, and spatial-sequential working memory measures in written mathematic...

The body of research surrounding the relationship between visuospatial working memory (VSWM) and mathematics performance remains in its infancy. However, it is an area generating increasing interest as the performance of school leavers comes under co...

Visuospatial working memory (VSWM) is responsible for storing and manipulating visual and spatial information. Its predictive relationship with mathematics performance in children is well known, especially in younger children. Research has so far not...
