Heterogeneous Contributions to Numerical Cognition: Learning and Education in Mathematical Cognition

Arithmetic disability arises from neurodevelopmental deficits, with individual variations in development across neuroanatomical, neuropsychological, behavioral, and interactional levels. Learning and Education in Mathematical Cognition explores the neurodevelopmental foundations of mathematical education methods, emphasizing the importance of cognitive domains and functions like executive functions, memory, attention, and language for proper numerical cognition development. This book and its discussions contribute to understanding the neurodevelopmental and cognitive basis of complex mathematics and teaching strategies.

Arithmetic disability arises from neurodevelopment deficits, resulting in significant individual variations in neuroanatomical, neuropsychological, behavioral, and interactional development. Heterogeneous Contributions to Numerical Cognition: Learning and Education in Mathematical Cognition delves into research on mathematical education methods and their neurodevelopmental underpinnings, emphasizing the essential neurodevelopmental aspects to consider when teaching and learning mathematics. Cognitive domains and functions, including executive functions, memory, attention, and language, play pivotal roles in numerical cognition and are crucial for its proper development. This book explores these lines of research and thinking in neuroscience to enhance our understanding of the neurodevelopmental and cognitive foundations of more complex forms of mathematics and the most effective teaching approaches. By unraveling the fundamental components of numerical thinking and the developmental basis of human arithmetic abilities, this book and the discussions within contribute to a comprehensive understanding of numerical cognition, its brain basis, development, disruptions in individuals with brain injuries, and challenges in mastering mathematical skills.
