Linking Narrative Skills to Word Problem-Solving Across Domains. While mathematical skills are widely acknowledged as essential, narrative skills are just as crucial for cognition and key societal functions. However, their connection is underexplored, as narrative abilities (e.g., storytelling) and mathematical problem-solving may be linked through shared cognitive processes. 

This interdisciplinary project examines the relationship between these traditionally separate domains through three studies: the role of narrative skills in word problems, developmental changes, and the influence of narrative context and multilingualism. This innovative approach recognizes their societal importance and contributes to a theoretical framework bridging linguistic and mathematical cognition.
