In this talk, I will explore the potential role of attentional control skills in this learning with a particular focus on: 1) selecting number as the relevant dimension in face of conflicting cues; 2) directing attention to the ordinal relationships between symbols. Through a series of studies, I will show that the control of attention is important for directing attention to information relevant to learning about numbers, and in turn that experience with number words guides the deployment of attention in numerical tasks. Therefore, I argue that selective attention and number word knowledge influence each other reciprocally over development and contribute to the development of symbolic number representations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Date:\u00a0Sept. 19, 2018\u00a0\u00a03:00pm-4:30pm Location: Dunton Tower: Room 2203 Speaker: Rebecca Merkley Title: Attention counts for learning about numbers Abstract: Learning the meaning of number words is a major milestone for young children\u2019s numerical thinking.
