Functions of Child Soroban Learners: Changes Has Produced by Soroban
Training
T. Hatta, A. Kawakami & T. Hirose |
The
abilities of object and spatial properties memory were examined using
Soroban learners and Novice children as subjects. Experiment 1 compared
recall performances between two groups using digit and shape stimuli,
and found that the Soroban learners were superior in performance
of digit recall but not of shape recall. Experiment 2 examined the
memory of categorical and spatial properties with Soroban and Novice
children. The results showed that the Soroban learners were superior
in the processing of the spatial properties. Based upon these results,
effects of Soroban learning on brain function were discussed.
