Abstract ◊ The paper reports an empirical analysis of various aspects of number sense, characteristics of visuo-spatial memory and the speed of information processing, assessed with an original web-based battery of tests, as well as their correlation with the mathematical achievement.

Keywords: number sense, visuo-spatial memory, speed of information processing, mathematical achievement, high-school age.
