MENTAL ARITHMETIC AS A FACTOR OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT IN PRIMARY EDUCATION SUBJECTS: A THEORETICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

This article examines the integration mechanisms of cognitive competencies
developed through mental arithmetic into primary education subjects: native language, reading
literacy, natural sciences, music, visual arts, and physical education. Based on a systematic
literature review, the transfer of universal skills such as working memory, attention stability, and
spatial reasoning is theoretically substantiated through the phenomenon of "cognitive transfer."
The findings serve as a methodological resource for primary school teachers to enhance crosscurricular integration and student performance
