- Abstract
- The report presents the cross-cultural study of cognitive characteristics - number sense, spatial memory, and speed of processing - in their relation to the variation in mathematical achievement in high school students from UK and the Russian Federation. Analyses of variance showed statistically significant average differences between the two countries on all assessed variables. The results of the multiple regression identified three universal cognitive predictors of mathematical achievement: (1) the precision of placement of a number on a mental number line; (2) the ability to compare non-symbolic numerosities; and (3) the spatial working memory capacity. The results of cross-cultural comparisons are interpreted in the context of the two educational systems.
