Shalev, 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.

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.…

Tishler, Anne G. – 1982
In every school there are bright, motivated students who experience success in every field of academic endeavor except mathematics. These students are defined as dyscalculics, or learning disabled in mathematics. Piaget's model for cognitive development was used in a study of students evidencing this condition. The purpose of the study was to…

Sears, Carol J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Assists teachers by helping them to recognize problems in mathematics that are often demonstrated by students with suspected or diagnosed learning disabilities. Also suggests remedial and compensatory techniques to help these teachers cope with such problems. Dyscalculia, hyperactivity, distractability, and perseveration are among the problems…
