Neuropsychological Aspects of Developmental Dyscalculia.

Whether children with developmental dyscalculia and disabilities in reading (R) and/or spelling (RS) had better arithmetic skills than children with DC only and whether ADHD as a co-morbid diagnosis wo...

Impaired neural networks for approximate calculation in dyscalculic children: a functional MRI study

Evidence for a deficient recruitment of neural resources in children with DD when processing analog magnitudes of numbers is found during trials testing approximate and exact mathematical calculation.

Numerical magnitude representation in developmental dyscalculia : : behavioural and brain imaging studies

Only through analysis and understanding of the complex cerebral connections in arithmetic can improved diagnostic as well as multidimensionally therapeutic approaches to arithmetic disorders be achieved, possibly opening new ways of academic and social integration of the affected individuals.

Acalculia and Dyscalculia

It is proposed that calculation ability represents a multifactor skill, including verbal, spatial, memory, body knowledge, and executive function abilities, and some general guidelines for the rehabilitation of calculation disturbances are presented.

Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Developmental Right-Hemisphere Syndrome: Congruence and Incongruence of Cognitive and Behavioral Aspects of Attention

The profile of attentional deficits in developmental right-hemisphere syndrome is different than that seen in children with ADHD only, possibly reflecting disparate neurologic underpinnings for the two syndromes.

Arithmetic Difficulties in Children With Visuospatial Learning Disability (VLD)

The results indicate that VLD children do not have a generalised problem with calculation per se or number manipulation in general, rather their problems concern dealing with some processes that govern calculation especially those loading on visuospatial abilities.

Influence of dominant laterality limbs and senses on dyscalculia

Exercises in psychomotor reeducation program related to guidance, practicing and stabilization laterality have a great impact on reducing learning problems, especially the problems of the calculus.

Language Development and Concept Flexibility in Dyscalculia: A Case Study

Dyscalculia is a psychological and medical term that refers to extreme difficulty in learning mathematics and to deficits in the production of accurate, efficient arithmetic calculations, in…

EVIDENCE FOR DIFFERENTIAL HEMISPHERIC FUNCTION IN CHILDREN WITH HEMIPLEGIC CEREBRAL PALSY

There was a strong correlation between left‐hand impairment and poor arithmetical computation skill in both hemiplegic groups, which conforms with present views as to right‐lateralization of certain mathematical functions.

The acquisition of arithmetic in normal children: assessment by a cognitive model of dyscalculia.

The authors conclude that this battery assesses number knowledge, and use of the fifth centile as a cut-off point will aid in identification of children with mental dyscalculia.

This article summarizes research that addresses some of the developmental interactions of disabilities in reading, spelling, and mechanical arithmetic by focusing on two subtypes of children with learning disabilities who exhibit equally impaired levels of arithmetic achievement, but with vastly different patterns of neuropsychological assets and deficits.

Cognitive profiles and the spectrum of clinical manifestations in heterozygous fra (X) females.

It is found that fra(X) heterozygotes had a distinct or specific set of mental deficits ("cognitive profile") which would allow for accurate diagnosis and was negatively correlated with VIQ and FSIQ but not with PIQ.
