This book will comprise a comprehensive and multidisciplinary treatment of current research on mathematical learning disabilities. Empirical, theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical perspectives on this rapidly evolving area will be discussed, drawing on a wide range of fields including cognitive and developmental psychology, educational psychology, neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, behavior genetics, and special education. Topics to be discussed include: issues of clarification and definition; the prevalence of mathematical learning disabilities; the role of language in mathematical learning; math anxiety; motivation; gender; cultural influences; effective instructional interventions; and much more.
