Studies on the Mechanism of Mental Arithmetic (Article written in chinese)

LIU Chang & LI Deming

Abstract

Mental arithmetic, an important thinking activity, is one of the subjects in cognitive psychology. There is an obvious problem-size effect in mental arithmetic which has close relation with working memory and long-term memory, and research on mental arithmetic from interdiscipline (e.g., cognitive psychology, neuroscience) is a main direction in the future.

Keywords: mental arithmetic; problem-size effect; working memory; long-term memory
