Why learning difficulties and ADHD run in families

Learning difficulties and ADHD often run in families and co-occur, but family resemblance does not by itself reveal whether the underlying processes are genetic, environmental, or causal. Elsje van Bergen will show how genetically informed and family-based designs can help distinguish these explanations, drawing on research on dyslexia, dyscalculia and ADHD.

The Effect of Finger Mathematicsand Audiovisual Materials on the Understanding of Multiplication Concepts Among Students with Mild Dyscalculia in Elementary School

Mathematics is a crucial intellectual tool in daily life and serves as the foundation for various academic disciplines. This issue is also faced by students at SDN Patemon01 Jember, including those with mild dyscalculia. Based on the author’s observations, data revealed that 10% of students experience difficulties with numerical learning. The objective of this study is to examine the influence of Jarimatika and audiovisualmedia on the concept of multiplication among students with mild dyscalculia.

Cortical Cascade Q1→Q2 Bottleneck in Developmental Dyscalculia: A CIFT Hypothesis (Adults)

Infographic summarizing the CIFT (Cortical Informational Field Theory) hypothesis for developmental dyscalculia in adults. The principal alteration occurs at the Q1→Q2 cortical cascade transition — the transformation of visual information into magnitude representations in the parietal cortex (IPS anterior right) — generating inefficient propagation toward associative and executive levels. Reference study: Bulthé et al. (2019),

Mathematical Critical Thinking Ability of Dyscalculia Students

Critical thinking (CT) skills in mathematics are essential for solving problems involving High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), although students with dyscalculia often experience difficulties in this process. This study was conducted to analyze the mathematical CT skills of students with dyscalculia in solving HOTS problems by gender using a qualitative method. This study involved male and female students with dyscalculia.
