Visual form perception and Math Achievement

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Visual form perception has unique contributions to numerosity comparison, digit comparison, and exact computation, but has no significant relation with approximate computation or curriculum-based mathematical achievement. These results suggest that visual form perception is an important independent cognitive correlate of lower level math categories, including the approximate number system, digit comparison, and exact computation.

Causes of Developmental Dyscalculia

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Interesting article from the Centre for Neuroscience in Education. Their view:

Overall, there is substantial evidence to suggest that there is no unique functional impairment at the heart of developmental dyscalculia, but that several cognitive functions may be implicated. Consequently, at the CNE maths group we adopt a multi-computational view of dyscalculia; rather than focusing on the search for a unitary underlying cause of dyscalculia, we aim to identity whether the condition can be related to individual variability in specified components of several cognitive functions such as memory and attentional processes.

Research to The Origin of Mathematics and Number Sense

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

It is concluded that difficulty with “number sense” results from the extended demands on executive
control in learning inverse dynamics models associated with cerebellar inner speech related to the second tier of
abstraction (numbers) of the infant’s primitive physics.
