How Attention and Strategies Shape Math Anxiety in Children

<p><em><span lang="EN-US">This study explores the bidirectional relationship between attentional biases, emotional regulation, and math anxiety. It highlights how sustained attentional states, influenced by attentional control deficits, contribute to anxiety and impaired mathematical performance. The article reviews the stability of attentional behavior and its long-term effects, discussing innovative computational models and intervention strategies. It emphasizes the need for addressing attentional control deficits to break the cycle of math anxiety and improve both emotional well-being and mathematical performance.</span></em></p>
