Abstract

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.
