Abstract
Abacus Training Effects on Imagery Generation and Operation in Children
T. Hatta & T. Hirose
Transfer effects of abacus learning on imagery processing were discussed with three groups of primary school children who had different skill levels. The results showed that subjects who have much learning experience were superior in image operation but not in imagery generation. This superiority was seen only for digit stimulus but not for other kind of stimulus. These results suggest that transfer effect by abacus training on imagery processing in children is small and domain-specific.
