Do you guys have a learning disability? Example, dyslexia? Well I do, one very close to dyslexia but it has more to do with numbers; dyscalculia. Obviously, I’d ask to not have a learning disability at all, but i’d do anything to trade dyscalculia with dyslexia. Now, that is not because it is easier to live with dyslexia because it is probably not. The reason is because there are more people with dyslexia and it was discovered a lot sooner, and because of that, there are more people who understands it and can actually help with it. There are a lot of ways to deal with people having problems with reading and writing: getting longer time to finish a book or an essay, getting an easier essay question or an easier version of a book. In writing, there are no right or wrong answers, I would know considering the fact that I love writing more than anything but in 1 math problem, there is just one answer and if you go wrong somewhere, the entire answer is wrong. Can you guys imagine how much struggle that is for one person who can hardly even count?

An international paper has called for a greater research focus on dyscalculia, the mathematical equivalent of dyslexia, saying it could lift economic growth.
Dyscalculia is estimated to affect up to seven per cent of the population, making it as common as dyslexia.
But, in a review published today in the journal Science, lead author Professor Brian Butterworth, of the University College London, and colleagues label the disorder a “poor cousin” of its literary stablemate.
“The relative poverty of dyscalculia funding is clear from the figures. Since 2000, the National Institute of Health has spent US$107.2 million (AU$100 million) funding dyslexia research but only US$2.3 million (AU$2.16 million) on dyscalculia,” they write.

Researchers have been wondering for a long time how humans learn. After all, no one is born with an understanding of math or language, yet both of these develop throughout early life. In the case of math at least, many forms of life, including humans, have demonstrated an ability to understand when one set is larger than another, without counting the items. Now a virtual neural network has done the same.
This neural network was designed only to mimic the retina of an eye and then generate false images, similar to what it originally saw. How the neurons fire as the original image is viewed and the false ones made is recorded. The researchers found the lowest level of neurons, those furthest from the virtual retina, were firing based on the number of objects in the original image, despite the fact that there is no understanding of numbers in the program. This information was then given to a second program which was able to estimate whether the image had more or fewer objects than some reference number the researchers also gave it.

Anna Wilson is an OECD Post-Doctoral Fellow at INSERM U562, Paris, conducting cognitive neuroscience research on the remediation of dyscalculia.
The purpose of this primer is to explain the cognitive neuroscience approach to dyscalculia (including the state of research in this area), to answer frequently asked questions, and to point the reader towards further resources on the subject.
Further references include some of the major scientific literature in the field, as well as reading suggestions for teachers and parents.
Note: The term dyscalculia in this document refers to developmental dyscalculia (present from birth or at an early age) and not to acquired dyscalculia (acquired as a result of brain lesion).
What is dyscalculia?
The first neuropsychological definition of developmental dyscalculia was put forward by the researcher Kosc (1974), who defined it as a difficulty in mathematical performance resulting from impairment to those parts of the brain that are involved in mathematical processing, without a concurrent impairment in general mental function. This definition is the same definition that researchers in cognitive neuroscience use today when searching for the causes and features of dyscalculia.
