Attention is an important, multifaceted cognitive domain that includes many key cognitive processes involved in learning. This study aimed to identify the predictive links between different components of attentional skills and core calculation skills development, using two standardized measures assessing calculation (AC-MT 6–11) and attention skills (CAS) in a sample of 143 typically developing children of age range from 7.6 years to 9.4 years. The results showed that in 2nd grade, selective visuo-spatial attention emerged as an important predictor in the written calculation task, while the ability to inhibit distracting information seemed to better predict accuracy in oral calculation. In 3rd grade, visuo-spatial components of attention emerged as no longer predictive, whereas planning and active visuo-spatial attention abilities emerged as predictive of accuracy in the oral calculation task. These results confirm previous findings about the contribution that attentional skills may have in calculation skills development, supporting evidence for progressive automation attentional components over time.

在典型的发展样本中，注意力过程对二年级和三年级计算技能的贡献

注意力是一个重要的、多方面的认知领域，它包括学习中涉及的许多关键认知过程。本研究旨在确定注意力技能和核心计算技能发展的不同组成部分之间的预测联系，在 143 名典型发育年龄儿童的样本中使用两种评估计算 (AC-MT 6-11) 和注意力技能 (CAS) 的标准化措施范围从 7.6 年到 9.4 年。结果表明，在二年级，选择性视觉空间注意力成为书面计算任务中的一个重要预测因子，而抑制干扰信息的能力似乎更好地预测口语计算的准确性。在三年级，注意力的视觉空间成分不再具有预测性，而计划和主动视觉空间注意力能力则成为预测口语计算任务准确性的能力。这些结果证实了先前关于注意力技能可能在计算技能发展中的贡献的发现，支持随着时间的推移渐进式自动化注意力组件的证据。
