The Relation between Mathematical Abilities and Cognitive Structures of Learners

Abstract

In order to measure the cognitive structures of learners, the author and his colleagues have developed and investigated to WA-Test (Word Association Test) of Iwate Form. Even now the relations between the cognitive structures and the mathematical abilities of learners are left unknown. The author has found the remarkable correlation and the R-Factor, i.e., the Reasoning Ability of undergraduates.
