Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience of Arithmetic Ability: Implication for Math Training
The aim of this work is to offer an overview and a systemic analysis of cognitive and neuroimaging studies on the development of arithmetic ability in children and describe how these results could be applied for neural training to enhance children”s arithmetic performance.However firstly we summarize the mature neural mechanism behind arithmetic ability as a baseline including inferior parietal cortex (IPC) and prefrontal cortex (PFC).Based on the adults” model in numerical and arithmetical cognition, in the second part, the children”s ability in number processing is considered as a potential but vital predictor for their concurrent and future mathematical performance.The brain studies afterwards show a shift in brain activation pattern from PFC to IPC with the age increasing.In the last part,arithmetic related trainings are described for both typical and atypical children, which draws a blue print for applying advanced neural technique in training, especially for those who suffer from severe developmental dyscalculia (DD) in the future.
