ABSTRACT In Mexico, by the end of compulsory education, half of the junior high school students attain the lowest level in international maths assessments. To reach a better understanding of how people learn mathematical skills and how to improve in teaching methods, researchers have looked at the intersection of cognitive psychology and maths education: the field of numerical cognition. However, there is a limited amount of research with Mexican students. This paper provides an overview of the studies published to date. This overview shows that research started with an interest in how to evaluate maths skills and identify children with maths difficulties; however, in the last five years, researchers have started to study younger and atypical populations using more diverse methods. The field of numerical cognition in Mexico is still emerging; however, in years to come, there should be additional informative and exciting research from laboratories in Mexico.

墨西哥的数字认知研究（墨西哥数字认知研究）

摘要在墨西哥，到义务教育结束时，一半的初中学生在国际数学评估中达到最低水平。为了更好地了解人们如何学习数学技能以及如何改进教学方法，研究人员研究了认知心理学与数学教育的交集：数字认知领域。但是，针对墨西哥学生的研究数量有限。本文概述了迄今为止发表的研究。概述表明，研究始于对如何评估数学技能和识别数学困难儿童的兴趣。然而，在过去的五年中，研究人员已开始使用更多样化的方法研究年轻和非典型人群。墨西哥的数字认知领域仍在兴起。
