Cognitive Psychology on Memory - Dictionary of Arguments
Corr I 412 Memory/cognitive psychology/anxiety/Matthews: An application of cognitive research on memory is to understand the math anxiety that may impair the person’s ability to perform arithmetic in educational and every-day life contexts. Math anxiety can be seen as a stable trait that is distinct from general anxiety, and relates to impairments in performance and working memory. Studies based on an understanding of mathematical cognition have helped to elucidate the impairment. As discussed in a recent review (Ashcraft and Krause 2007)(1), solving math problems depends both on retrieval of arithmetic knowledge held in long-term memory, and on use of strategies for solving unfamiliar problems that require working memory. >Working memory/cognitive psychology. Ashcraft and Krause (2007)(1) also point out that math-anxious persons tend to sacrifice accuracy for speed, especially on difficult problems, in an effort to conclude the aversive experience (i.e., a form of avoidance coping). 1.
