Reviews / Votes
"Not only does this book provide up-to-date, accurate summaries of topics that have been well studied (basically aspects of mathematics acquired in the first decade of life among most children in Western and East Asian countries), it also examines less-studied topics that are likely to become increasingly important in the future, such as number systems, mathematical argumentation, and proof. Everyone interested in mathematical cognition will want to have this book." - Robert Siegler, Carnegie Mellon University, USA"The field of mathematical cognition has grown tremendously over the past few decades. This book, written by three leading experts, provides a comprehensive summary and analysis of these advances. It represents an invaluable resource not only for those interested in mathematical cognition but also for instructors teaching courses on this field and their undergraduate and graduate students." - Daniel Ansari, The University of Western Ontario, Canada
"An Introduction to Mathematical Cognition is a much-welcomed addition to this growing and important literature. The volume is written by three highly respected scientists and covers an impressive range of topics from our evolved number sense to students' understanding of mathematical proofs. It will be of interest to experts in the field and students wanting to learn more about the field." - David C. Geary, University of Missouri, USA
"An impressively coherent, systematic and clear introduction into the cognitive systems that underlie mathematical learning and performance from early childhood to adulthood, relying on a rich diversity of behavioural and neuroscientific methods. A vital book for students and researchers in mathematical cognition and adjacent fields." - Lieven Verschaffel, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium

File format: PDF
Copy-Protection: Adobe-DRM (Digital Rights Management)
System requirements:
- Computer (Windows; MacOS X; Linux): Install the free reader Adobe Digital Editions prior to download (see eBook Help).

- E-reader: Bookeen, Kobo, Pocketbook, Sony, Tolino and many more (only limited: Kindle).
The file format PDF always displays a book page identically on any hardware. This makes PDF suitable for complex layouts such as those used in textbooks and reference books (images, tables, columns, footnotes). Unfortunately, on the small screens of e-readers or smartphones, PDFs are rather annoying, requiring too much scrolling.
This eBook uses Adobe-DRM, a „hard” copy protection. If the necessary requirements are not met, unfortunately you will not be able to open the eBook. You will therefore need to prepare your reading hardware before downloading.
Please note: We strongly recommend that you authorise using your personal Adobe ID after installation of any reading software.
