Dyscalculia: News from the web:
Yes it seems that our mathematical capabilities are what sets us apart from the animal kingdom. Researchers now have established that our numbersense at 6 months pretty much predicts how well we will score on tests after a number of years.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
This is a nice piece of research that will need some more follow up. In research, participants in a study are often placed in an environment that eliminates all outside distractions. This is how they have measured the brain activity in children with dyscalculia. Now researchers are curious about what other situations trigger that part of the brain in regular life. Well it turns out, but needs lots of confirmation, that the pieces of the brain that are affected with dyscalculia also get triggered when people with dyscalculia refer in a conversation to an object with a numerical content.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
Research has confirmed something we all may have thought. Counting on your fingers is good for your understanding of math and the number-line. Future research needs to confirm if it also helps to avoid Dyscalculia by programming the brain in the right way.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
A recent study from Austria confirms what we have been describing; subitizing is difficult for children with dyscalculia.
They take longer and are less accurate than children who do not have dyscalculia.

Dyscalculia: News from the web:
New research clearly shows the different neural development of children with Dyscalculia in pre-teen and teenage years. Visible with MRI Dyscalculia causes, or is caused by a different development of the brain.
This does not mean that we need to scan the brains of all school age children but it helps us realize the causes of Dyscalculia. Still screening at a young age and subsequent testing with intervention by trained specialists seems to be the best approach.
