Abstract in brief

  • Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is mainly a genetically influenced disorder affecting the brain's number sense, which is the ability to understand and manipulate numerical magnitudes.
  • The development of numerical skills involves multiple cognitive components like working memory and language, and children with DD may also have other issues such as language delays or ADHD, with some children showing only number sense deficits while others have broader learning challenges.
  • A four-step developmental model explains how understanding of numbers evolves, highlighting the importance of core systems like number meaning, symbolization, and working memory, which can inform targeted educational and therapeutic strategies.
