Abstract

The literature study was aim to describe the important role of neuropsychology in relation with the process of learning mathematical word problem. In this case, the involvement basic components of executive function (EF) which is consist of working memory, inhibition control, and shifting. The components of EF play an important role in higher order cognitive process to solve mathematics word problem, i.e. reasoning, planning, monitoring and problem solving. Implication for further study will consider basic components of EF capacity to design explicit instruction to improve mathematics word problem solving ability in the classroom.
