Young Children's Mental Arithmetic Errors: A Working-Memory Analysis.
Brainerd, Charles J.
Child Development, v54 n4 p812-30 Aug 1983
Presents a stochastic model for distinguishing mental arithmetic errors according to causes of failure. A series of experiments (1) studied questions of goodness of fit and model validity among four and five year olds and (2) used the model to measure the relative contributions of developmental improvements in short-term memory and arithmetical processing to age changes in mental arithmetic.
