The Mathematical Brain Across the Lifespan

The Mathematical Brain Across the Lifespan is the latest volume in the Progress in Brain Research series that focuses on new trends and developments. This established international series examines major areas of basic and clinical research within the neurosciences, as well as popular and emerging subfields.

1. Core mathematical abilities in infants: number and much more

2. Cognitive and Brain Systems Underlying Early Mathematical Development

3. Individual differences in children’s mathematics achievement: the roles of symbolic processing and domain-general cognitive functions

4. Foundations of mathematical abilities – towards understanding the neural coding of number in the human brain

5. Similarity interference in learning and retrieving arithmetic facts

6. Neurocomputational foundations of core mathematical abilities

7. The Number Interval Position Effect (NIPE) in the bisection of the mental number line reveals the nonlinear compressed scaling of numerical information: evidence from children, healthy adults and right brain damaged patients

8. Strategic variations with age during arithmetic problem solving: The role of executive control

9. Evolutionary basis of arithmetical abilities

10. Memory and cognitive control systems and circuits in mathematical cognition and learning

11. Brain stimulation and mathematical training: The contribution of core and non-core skills

12. What causes dyscalculia? The core number module impairment hypothesis

13. Working memory disruption in developmental dyscalculia

14. Ordinality and the Number Symbol System: Evidence from brain and behaviour

15. The relationship between core cognitive abilities and early numeracy

• Provides a comprehensive review of the most recent progress in the mathematical brain across the lifespan
• Explores new trends and developments in the field
• Enhances the literature of neuroscience by further expanding the established, ongoing international series Progress in Brain Research
