A team (The lead author is UChicago PhD candidate Gerardo Ramirez. Joining he and Beilock in the work are UChicago postdoctoral scholar Elizabeth Gunderson and Susan Levine, the Stella M. Rowley Professor in Psychology.) showed that a high degree of math anxiety undermined performance of otherwise successful students, placing them almost half a school year behind their less anxious peers, in terms of math achievement.

Dyscalculia; News from the web:

One of the better websites to go to for information and resources is the site from dr Anna Wilson, a researcher and scientist who continues to work tirelessly to bring awareness and possible solutions to the learning disability.

From 2003-2006 Anna worked withStanislas Dehaene at U562, INSERM(Paris, France) on a project to design, develop and test remediation software for dyscalculia. This software, called “The Number Race” is open-source and can be downloaded for free here. It appears to be most useful for younger children (ages 5-8).

Dyscalculia; News from the web:

It appears from new research at the university of Dallas that communication between the left and right part of the brain seems key for executing math tasks. The researchers found brain activity as expected when scanning the brain with MRI during math exercises but a new observation was that both brain parts interacted a lot more during the work.

This may open up some new leads for training the brain and remediation.
