Note. Effect sizes were not calculated in two studies (Mevarech & Ben-Artzi, 1987; Kramarski et al., 2009) due to the insufficient information. WJ-IIIC = Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement; WIAT-III = Wechsler Individual Achievement Test.
a
Effect size was calculated based on the addition-subtraction subtest score because the author stated that the total score had ceiling effects.
b
Effect size was calculated based on the overall score of ATT.
