Peer reviewedShalev, R. S.; Manor, O.; Gross-Tsur, V. – Mathematical Cognition, 1997
Classification of arithmetic disorders is predicated on neuropsychological features and associated learning disabilities. Assesses the compatibility of these classifications on a nonreferred, population-based cohort of children (N=139) with developmental dyscalculia. Concludes that children with dyscalculia and disabilities in reading and/or…

Sharma, Mahesh C. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1986
Evidence on learning problems due to dyscalculia is surveyed. Definitions, factors responsible for dyscalculia, split-brain research and hemispheric roles, mathematics learning problems and personality, materials for instruction, and levels of knowing mathematics are among the topics discussed with an extensive list of references. (MNS)

Sharma, Mahesh C., Ed.; Loveless, Eugene J., Ed. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1986
The work of Ladislav Kosc on dyscalculia is presented. His work on meanings, forms, terminology, diagnosis, correction principles, factors in mathematical ability, language dysfunctions, and publications are each included. (MNS)

Tishler, Anne G. – 1981
The purpose of this study was to compare factors of cognitive style in two groups of seventh-grade children: (1) children of average or above average intelligence who show learning disability in mathematics but who perform well in reading; and (2) children of average or above average intelligence who perform well in both mathematics and reading.…

Redmond, Bruce – Academic Therapy, 1986
The article offers seven suggestions for helping students with dyscalculia, a difficulty with basic mathematic processes, learn to make change. (CL)

Peer reviewedPrice, Nigel; Youe, Simon – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2000
Focuses on the problems of diagnosis and remediation of dyscalculia. Explores whether there is justification for believing that specific difficulty with mathematics arises jointly with a specific language problem, or whether a specific difficulty with mathematics can arise independently of problems with language. Uses a case study to illuminate…

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 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…
