Numerical Cognition: The Basics provides an understanding of the
neural and cognitive mechanisms that enable us to perceive,
process, and memorize numerical information. Starting from basic
numerical competencies that humans share with other species, the
book explores the mental coding of numbers and their neural
representation. It explains the strategies of mental calculation,
their pitfalls and their development, as well as the developmental
steps children make while learning about numbers. The book
gradually builds our understanding of the underlying mental
processes of numeracy and concludes with an insightful examination
of the diagnosis, etiology and treatment of dyscalculia. Written in
an accessible manner, the book summarizes and critically evaluates
the major psychological explanations for various empirical
phenomena in numerical cognition. Containing a wealth of
student-friendly features including end of chapter summaries,
informative figures, further reading lists, and links to relevant
websites, Numerical Cognition: The Basics is an essential starting
point for anybody new to the field.
