Neural and Behavioral Signatures of Core Numerical Abilities and Early Symbolic Number Development -- 4. A Neurodevelopmental Perspective on the Role of Memory Systems in Children's Math Learning -- 5. Finger Representation and Finger-Based Strategies in the Acquisition of Number Meaning and Arithmetic -- 6. Neurocognitive Architectures and the Nonsymbolic Foundations of Fractions Understanding -- 7. Developmental Dyscalculia and the Brain -- 8. Neurocognitive Components of Mathematical Skills and Dyscalculia -- 9. Individual Differences in Arithmetic Fact Retrieval -- 10. Transcranial Electrical Stimulation and the Enhancement of Numerical Cognition -- 11. Individual Differences in Mathematics Ability: A Behavioral Genetic Approach -- 12. Genetic Syndromes as Model Pathways to Mathematical Learning Difficulties: Fragile X, Turner, and 22q Deletion Syndromes.
Summary: Focusing on the neural substrates and genetic factors associated with both the typical and atypical development of mathematical thinking and learning, this second volume in the "Mathematical Cognition and Learning" series integrates the latest in innovative measures and methodological advances from the top researchers in the field, provides details about new progress made in the study of neural correlates of numerical and arithmetic cognition, and addresses recent work in quantitative and molecular genetics.
