{ "pk": 29981, "title": "Are content effects out of sight? An eye-tracking study of arithmetic problem solving", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "Evidence suggests that general, non-mathematical knowledge\nabout the entities described in an arithmetic word problem may\ninterfere with its encoding. We used behavioral and eye-\ntracking measures to investigate how the use of specific\nquantities may foster a cardinal representation of the numbers\nmentioned in a problem, whereas other quantities may favor an\nordinal representation instead. We asked 50 pre-service\nteachers to complete a solution validity assessment task. We\ncompared participants’ gaze patterns on isomorphic problems\nto gather insights into their encoded representations. On\nproblems featuring cardinal quantities, we found that specific\nsentences describing elements relevant in a cardinal\nunderstanding of the problems but irrelevant otherwise were\nlooked at longer and were the focus of a higher number of\nbackward eye movements. Additionally, an increase in pupil\ndilation on correctly solved cardinal problems supported the\nidea that participants need to engage in a recoding process\nwhen facing semantic incongruence.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "arithmetic word problems; encoding effects; eye\ntracking; mathematical cognition; problem solving" } ], "section": "Poster Session 3", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7zk5d0w2", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Hippolyte", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Gros", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Emmanuel", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Sander", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Jean-Pierre", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Thibaut", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2020-01-01T10:00:00-08:00", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/29981/galley/19835/download/" } ] }
