Abstract

This study examined differences in cognitive processing between 4th-grade students who respond adequately, as opposed to inadequately, to intervention on 3 fraction outcomes: number-line estimation, calculation, and word problems. Students were assessed on 7 cognitive processes and on the 3 fraction outcomes. Students were grouped as adequate or inadequate responders, using as the cut-point the control-group mean on pre-to-post improvement on the relevant measure. Between-group differences identified reasoning, concept formation, and listening comprehension related to all 3 fraction outcomes. On the number-line outcome, within-group profile analysis indicated that inadequate responders experienced low reasoning ability relative to their other forms of cognitive processing.
