Extensive research is available on language acquisition and the
acquisition of mathematical skills in early childhood. But more
recently, research has turned to the question of the influence of
specific language aspects on acquisition of mathematical skills.
This anthology combines current findings and theories from various
disciplines such as (neuro-)psychology, linguistics, didactics and
anthropology.
This comprehensive volume provides teachers, researchers and
education professionals with cutting edge knowledge developed in
the last decades by the educational, behavioural and neurosciences,
integrating cognitive, developmental and socioeconomic approaches
to deal with the problems children face in learning mathematics.
The neurocognitive mechanisms and the cognitive processes
underlying acquisition of arithmetic abilities and their
significance for education have been the subject of intense
research in the last few decades, but the most part of this
research has been conducted in non-applied settings and there's
still a deep discrepancy between the level of scientific knowledge
and its implementation into actual educational settings. Now it's
time to bring the results from the laboratory to the classroom.
Apart from bringing the theoretical discussions to educational
settings, the volume presents a wide range of methods for early
detection of children with risks in mathematics learning and
strategies to develop effective interventions based on innovative
cognitive test instruments. It also provides insights to translate
research knowledge into public policies in order to address
socioeconomic issues. And it does so from an international
perspective, dedicating a whole section to the cultural diversity
of mathematics learning difficulties in different parts of the
world. All of this makes the International Handbook of Mathematical
Learning Difficulties an essential tool for those involved in the
daily struggle to prepare the future generations to succeed in the
global knowledge society.
