Dyscalculia News from the web:

A solid piece of research into the origins of Math Disabilities, which we refer to on this blog as Dyscalculia. Here is the abstract:

In this study, systematic testing of the types of errors variously proposed to be associated with MD more generally or with different subgroups of MD provided no support for the idea that visual errors or switch errors are associated with MD or for the idea that switch errors might be related to attention and inhibitory control. The finding that behavioral ratings of inattention are related to both math fact errors and procedural bugs suggests the need for cognitive research on how attention affects specific mathematical processes and on interventions that aim to effect change in those mathematical processes.
