- Empirical Study on the Correlation Between Mathematical Cognitive Structure, Higher-Order Thinking Ability, and Mathematical Modeling Ability (2026) · Advanced Electromagnetics · doi
Existing studies mostly examine single abilities or pairwise relationships, lacking systematic empirical evidence on the intrinsic correlation among the three. - There is a lack of empirical evidence on the correlation between mathematical cognitive structure, higher-order thinking ability, and mathematical modeling ability.

However, further research is necessary to fully determine which general cognitive abilities should be targeted in training to support children as they learn mathematical skills. Another limitation of this study is the lack of a measure of visuospatial ability (e. One limitation in our study is the general processing speed task we used.
