Brain Activity Related with Mathematics Anxiety
For the purpose of determining neurophysiological mechanism of math anxiety, we conducted an EEG measurement for 22 sixth grade elementary students including 11 students with high math anxiety (HMA group), and 11 students with low math anxiety (LMA group). We found that in HMA group, delta wave was significantly generated from the right frontal lobe, and in LMA group, four paths are clearly con...
متن کاملThe Chicken or the Egg? The Direction of the Relationship Between Mathematics Anxiety and Mathematics Performance
This review considers the two possible causal directions between mathematics anxiety (MA) and poor mathematics performance. Either poor maths performance may elicit MA (referred to as the Deficit Theory), or MA may reduce future maths performance (referred to as the Debilitating Anxiety Model). The evidence is in conflict: the Deficit Theory is supported by longitudinal studies and studies of c...
متن کاملMathematics anxiety affects counting but not subitizing during visual enumeration.
Individuals with mathematics anxiety have been found to differ from their non-anxious peers on measures of higher-level mathematical processes, but not simple arithmetic. The current paper examines differences between mathematics anxious and non-mathematics anxious individuals in more basic numerical processing using a visual enumeration task. This task allows for the assessment of two systems ...
متن کاملAspects of Children's Mathematics Anxiety
Karen Newstead This study1 focuses on mathematics anxiety in nineto eleven-year-old children and compares the mathematics anxiety of pupils taught in a traditional manner with that of pupils whose teachers adopted an alternative teaching approach emphasising problem-solving and discussion of pupils’ own informal strategies. One finding is that pupils who were exposed to a traditional approach r...
متن کاملInvestigating Pre-service Teachers’ Mathematics Anxiety Using the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale (RMARS)
Pre-service primary (elementary) teachers’ mathematics anxiety affects their engagement with and future teaching of mathematics. The study measured the range of mathematics anxiety in 219 pre-service teachers starting a teacher education course in an Australian university. They responded to the Revised Mathematics Anxiety Scale (RMARS) and a set of demographic questions. Age differences in anxi...
