Abstract: This study investigated the developmental dynamics of mathematical performance during children's transition from preschool to Grade 2 and the cognitive antecedents of this development. 194 Finnish children were examined 6 times according to their math performance, twice during each year across a 3-year period. Cognitive antecedents, that is, counting ability, visual attention, metacognitive knowledge, and listening comprehension, were tested at the first measurement point. The results indicated that math performance showed high stability and increasing variance over time. Moreover, the growth of math competence was faster among those who entered preschool with an already high level of mathematical skills. The initial level of math performance, as well as its growth, was best predicted by counting ability.

- 01 Jan 2018
TL;DR: The corpus of data shows that provision of the expressions input, output, and ‘the rule is’ aided primary children, particularly those in the upper primary grades, to construct the predictive rule underpinning function-machine tasks.
Learning through intuitive interface: A case study on preschool learning
TL;DR: The findings show that pre-schoolers who learnt with the proposed approach surpassed those who learned with the traditional classroom approach, and the gap in learning performance was also reduced.

Estimating the Dimension of a Model
TL;DR: In this paper, the problem of selecting one of a number of models of different dimensions is treated by finding its Bayes solution, and evaluating the leading terms of its asymptotic expansion.

Comparative fit indexes in structural models
TL;DR: A new coefficient is proposed to summarize the relative reduction in the noncentrality parameters of two nested models and two estimators of the coefficient yield new normed (CFI) and nonnormed (FI) fit indexes.

Integrating Person-Centered and Variable-Centered Analyses: Growth Mixture Modeling With Latent Trajectory Classes
Bengt Muthén,Linda K. Muthén +1 more
TL;DR: This paper gives a brief overview of new methods that integrate variable- and person-centered analyses in a general latent variable modeling framework that expands traditional latent variables modeling by including not only continuous latent variables but also categorical latent variables.
