Computerized mental arithmetic exercises significantly improved basic arithmetic skills in students with learning disabilities. This 8-hour training program demonstrated positive effects on addition, subtraction, and multiplication automatization.

Area of Science:

  • Cognitive psychology
  • Educational technology
  • Special education

Background:

  • Learning disabilities often impact basic cognitive skills, including arithmetic.
  • Targeted interventions are crucial for improving academic performance in students with learning disabilities.
  • Computerized learning tools offer potential for structured skill development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a computerized exercise program on cognitive skills in students with learning disabilities.
  • To assess the impact of an 8-hour, 30-minute weekly training on mental arithmetic abilities.
  • To determine if computer-based practice facilitates the automatization of basic arithmetic operations.

Main Methods:

  • A training program involving 6 computerized exercises for cognitive skills development was administered.

  • 59 students with learning disabilities participated in the intervention group.
  • A control group of 12 students received no intervention; covariance analysis was used for evaluation.

    • Main Results:

    • Covariance analysis revealed a significant positive effect of the computerized training on mental arithmetic performance.
    • Students demonstrated improved automatization of basic arithmetic skills, including addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
    • The intervention group showed greater gains compared to the control group.

    Conclusions:

    • Practicing computerized mental arithmetic exercises can effectively enhance basic arithmetic skills in students with learning disabilities.
    • Computer-based interventions show promise for facilitating cognitive skill automatization.
    • The study highlights the potential of educational technology in special education settings.
