Neural correlates underlying spatial and verbal working memory in children with different mathematics achievement levels: An event-related potential study

- To compare ERP correlates of working memory between different math achievement groups
- High math achievers outperformed average achievers as the memory load increased.
- High math achievers had enhanced P3 amplitudes in the spatial and verbal n-back tasks.
- Verbal working memory more strongly associated with math performance at an average age of 12 years.
