Peer reviewedRourke, Byron P.; Conway, James A. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1997
Reviews current research on brain-behavior relationships in disabilities of arithmetic and mathematical reasoning from both a neurological and a neuropsychological perspective. Defines developmental dyscalculia and the developmental importance of right versus left hemisphere integrity for the mediation of arithmetic learning and explores…

Peer reviewedEvans, Roy; Goodman, Kathy – Early Child Development and Care, 1995
Analyzes the factors behind children's learning difficulties in mathematics from three kinds of characteristics: characteristics of the child, of the teacher/teaching method, and of the subject. Suggests that perceived underachievement comes mainly from poor self-image, learning style, poor language skills, dyslexic-type difficulties, lack of…

The purpose of this paper was to track the history of learning disabilities and collect intervention theories which might be helpful for adult college students suffering from any number of learning disabilities (LD). There is a vast difference between a learning difficulty and a learning disability; an individual with learning difficulty can learn…

Weinstein, Marcia L. – New York University Education Quarterly, 1980
Presented is evidence suggesting that many of the 6 percent of children who have difficulty with arithmetic suffer from a neurological development lag rather than an underlying deficit. Such pupils appear to favor the right cerebral hemisphere, which serves spatial functions, rather than the left, analytic half of the brain. (Author/KC)

Peer reviewedChard, David; Gersten, Russell – Journal of Special Education, 1999
Examines the concept of number sense in mathematics learning, compares this concept to that of phonological awareness in reading, and urges application of existing research to improving mathematics instruction for students with mathematical disabilities. Reviews research on building automaticity with basic facts, adjusting instruction to address…

Magne, Olof – 1991
This literature review explores the phenomenon of dysmathematics and problems in its definition. Dysmathematics is suggested as a modern term for low achievement in mathematics. This document addresses: (1) concomitant variables associated with dysmathematics; (2) mathematical characteristics of dysmathematicians; (3) diagnosis and prescription…
