perform 10% to 3U% worse on word problems than on comparable problems presented in numeric format. Moreover, characteristic errors tend to be committed with certain problem types. Researchers have tried to explain these errors by making inferences about the types of problem representations children build during solution attempts. In the present stu...
Word problems are notoriously difficult to solve. We suggest that much of the difficulty children experience with word problems can be attributed to difficulty in comprehending abstract or ambiguous language. We tested this hypothesis by (1) requiring children to recall problems either before or after solving them, (2) requiring them to generate fi...
