The impact of mathematics anxiety on primary school children's working memory (2012)
Journal Article
Witt, M. (2012). The impact of mathematics anxiety on primary school children's working memory. Europe's Journal of Psychology, 8(2), 263-274. https://doi.org/10.5964/ejop.v8i2.458

While there is little doubt that there is a connection between mathematics anxiety and poor mathematical performance, the direction and nature of this connection is less clear. Some researchers (e.g., Ma & Xu, 2004) have contended that poor mathemati... Read More about The impact of mathematics anxiety on primary school children's working memory.
