User talk:Eanigro/mental math

Comments:

You should reference the Brown–Peterson task, which is one of the first, or at least most widely known, tasks to use mental arithmetic. It was used as a distracter task.
Looking at your new section, I'm not sure how it satisfies the point criteria. Be sure you document all the links, references, improvements, etc. that you added.
Look into: Fleishman, E.A., Quaintance, M.K. and Broedling, L.A. (1984). Taxonomies of Human Performance: The description of human tasks. Orlando, FL: Academic Press, Inc. (http://www.iosolutions.org/Research_and_Resources/Agency_Resources/White_Papers/Fleishman_s_Taxonomy.aspx), who identified both 'number facility' and 'mathematical reasoning' as important categories of human cognitive skill.

The section that I added to Wikipedia included:

• 4 references to outside journal articles

• proper section headers and formatting conforming to Wikipedia style

• 12 links to other Wikipedia pages (physical exertion, mental task, physiological, EEG, mental workload, Michigan Technological University, significant effect, Brown-Peterson task, cognitive, short-term memory, maintenance rehearsal, computation)

• 4 formatted references according to Wikipedia markup — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eanigro (talk • contribs) 00:12, 20 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
