How well does a child understand how numbers work? The answer to that question predicts the child’s maths performance in later life, KU Leuven researchers have shown. Their findings open up new perspectives for the quick detection of dyscalculia.

(a) current evidence that has examined the association between the ANS and number symbols does not support the notion that number symbols are grounded in the ANS and (b) given the strong correlation between numerosity and continuous variables in nonsymbolic number processing tasks, it is next to impossible to measure the pure association between symbolic and nonsymbolic numerosity. Instead, it is clear that significant cognitive control resources are required to disambiguate numerical from continuous variables during nonsymbolic number processing.
