Developmental dyscalculia behavioral and attentional aspects: a research note.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Behavioral characteristics of 140 children with developmental dyscalculia (DC) were evaluated using the Child Behavior Checklist. DC children demonstrated more behavior problems than normal children but significantly fewer problems than children psychiatrically referred. DC children had significantly more attentional problems although they had normal levels of anxiety/depression. Significantly higher scores on all syndrome scales were found for DC children who had attentional problems in the clinical range. When associated with dyslexia and a low verbal IQ, DC children had more attentional problems and externalizing syndromes. The implications of the behavioral characteristics of DC are discussed.

متن کاملDyscalculia: Characteristics, Causes, and Treatments
Developmental Dyscalculia (DD) is a learning disorder affecting the ability to acquire school-level arithmetic skills, affecting approximately 3-6% of individuals. Progress in understanding the root causes of DD and how best to treat it have been impeded by lack of widespread research and variation in characterizations of the disorder across studies. However, recent years have witnessed signifi...
متن کاملNeuroimaging Aspects in Children with Dyscalculia
Functional neuroimaging has made remarkable progress in the last years and provided new data on numerical and calculation processes. While there is a large amount of research regarding the arithmetic skills in adults, there are currently only a few functional studies approaching the arithmetic abilities in children. Although the neuroimaging studies regarding dyscalculia have provided variable ...
متن کاملDigital memory encoding in Chinese dyscalculia: An event-related potential study.
This study reports the neurophysiological and behavioral correlates of digital memory encoding features in Chinese individuals with and without dyscalculia. Eighteen children with dyscalculia (ages 11.5-13.5) and 18 matched controls were tested, and their event-related potentials (ERPs) were digitally recorded simultaneously with behavioral measures. The results showed that both groups had a si...
