An Experimental Investigation of Computational Error in Complex Arithmetical Tasks
James L. Evans · UNM’s Digital Repository (University of New Mexico) · 1956
It was the purpose of this study (1) to investigate the nature of the computational errors made by mathematically trained college students when they solved complex arithmetical problems under normal conditions, i.e., comfortable working conditions without stress; and (2) to investigate experimental conditions which might reduce the incidence of computational error.
