This book examines the neuroscience of mathematical cognitive development from infancy into
emerging adulthood addressing both biological and environmental influences on brain
development and plasticity. It begins by presenting major theoretical frameworks for designing
and interpreting neuroscience studies of mathematical cognitive development including
developmental evolutionary theory developmental systems approaches and the triple-code model
of numerical processing. The book includes chapters that discuss findings from studies using
neuroscience research methods to examine numerical and visuospatial cognition calculation and
mathematical difficulties and exceptionalities. It concludes with a review of mathematical
intervention programs and recommendations for future neuroscience research on mathematical
cognitive development.Featured neuroscience research methods include:Functional Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (fMRI). Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI).Event Related Potentials
(ERP).Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS).Neuroscience of Mathematical Cognitive
Development is an essential resource for researchers clinicians and related professionals and
graduate students in child and school psychology neuroscience educational psychology
neuropsychology and mathematics education.
