Mathematics and numerosity but not visuo-spatial working memory correlate with math-anxiety in adults

Data in "Database" are organized in subfolders. Each subfolder contains data of the corresponding task.

Data from the Paper&Pencil tests are reported in the .xlsx file

Numerosity Estimation Task:

Each file contains a matrix called “matr”. Each row of the matrix “matr” is a trial. 

The columns contain the following information:

1st: Subject response on numerosity 

2nd: Test numerosity

3rd: Subject response on numerosity 

4th: 0 

5th: Stimulus duration

6th: Response time

Simple Calculation Task:

Each file contains a matrix called “MATR”. Each row of the matrix “MATR” is a trial. 

The columns contain the following information:

1st: Number of trials 

2nd: Subject response

3rd: Response time 

4th: First digit

5th: mathematical symbols (x=1; +=2; –=3)

6th: Second digit

7th: Third digit

8th: Forth digit

Complex Calculation Task:

Each file contains a matrix called “MATR”. Each row of the matrix “MATR” is a trial. 

The columns contain the following information:

1st: Number of trials 

2nd: Subject response

3rd: Response time 

4th: First digit

5th: mathematical symbols (x=1; +=2; –=3; /=4)

6th: Second digit

VSWM Task:

Data from forward and backward conditions are located in two different subfolders.

Each file contains a matrix called “Span”, with the corresponding VSWM span.
