Campbell is a Professor of Psychology at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada. He earned a B.A. in Psychology from Queen's University in Kingston and a Ph.D. from the University of Waterloo. He has published numerous scientific articles in the area of mathematical cognition and previously edited The Nature and Origins of Mathematical Skills in 1992. Klappentext constitutes a comprehensive review of important facets of mathematical cognition. The volume thereby provides a state-of-the-art general reference for mathematical cognition research, and is intended for academics, scientists, clinicians, and senior students who want a definitive, comprehensive survey of the field. Zusammenfassung This collection of 27 chapters by leading researchers provides a state-of-the-art reference for mathematical cognition research.

Report

"The scientific investigation of mathematical cognition is a relatively recent enterprise. Compared with the interest and resources that have been invested in literacy skills, numerocity is a fledgling topic for scientific enquiry. Yet in a short space of time, our knowledge has grown rapidly. This exceptionally comprehensive handbook brings together all the diverse approaches to the field. These 27 essays are grouped into 5 sections that deal with number representations, cognitive procedures, development and learning of numerocity, and neuropsychology of number skills, both in youth and adults. Apart from such mainline research, the handbook is liberally spaced with diversions to more esoteric topics, such as the numerical abilities of pigeons. The editor is to be congratulated for his success in recruiting and coordinating such an authoritative group of contributors.

"With recent advances in tracing cognitive processes and brain imaging, the structures of mathematical ability are now emerging in greater detail. In this handbook, the world's leading scientists describe their cutting-edge insights into the mental representations and skills that mediate mathematical calculation and estimation. Anyone interested in the nature of human development and skill acquisition should read this book.
