TL;DR: In this article, the developmental dynamics of mathematical performance during children's transition from preschool to grade 2 and the cognitive antecedents of this development were investigated, and the results indicated that math performance showed high stability and increasing variance over time.

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.

Classification, Seriation, and Counting in Grades 1, 2, and 3 as Two-Year Longitudinal Predictors for Low Achieving in Numerical Facility and Arithmetical Achievement?
TL;DR: In this article, a two-year-long predictive relationship between children's seriation, classification, procedural counting knowledge, and conceptual counting knowledge and their numerical facility and arithmetical achievement in Grades 3, 4, and 5 was examined.

Early Numeracy and Literacy: Untangling the Relation Between Specific Components
David J. Purpura,Amy R. Napoli +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that the relation between language and numeral knowledge is fully mediated by informal numeracy skills and the relationship between informal numerability skills and numerality knowledge skills is partially mediated by print knowledge.

Developmental Relations Among Motor and Cognitive Processes and Mathematics Skills
TL;DR: This article explored transactional associations among visuomotor integration, attention, fine motor coordination, and mathematics skills in a diverse sample of one hundred thirty-five 5-year-olds (kindergarteners) and one hundred nineteen 6-year olds (first graders) in the United States who were followed over the course of two school years.

Working memory resources in young children with mathematical difficulties.
TL;DR: Children with early mathematical difficulties showed poor performance in both verbal and visuospatial WM tasks as well as on language tests and a fluid intelligence test indicating a thoroughly lower cognitive base.

Early numeracy skills in preschool-aged children: a review of neurocognitive findings and implications for assessment and intervention
TL;DR: Understanding the development of early numeracy skills and their neurocognitive predictors offer important insights into early assessment and intervention for children at risk for or with mathematical learning difficulties.

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.
