Please join us next week on January 27th at 12:00 PM in the Wieboldt 408, Denes Scucs, a researcher at the University of Cambridge, will present his talk: Numerical development and developmental dyscalculia: Behavioural and electro-encephalography studies.
Abstract: Developmental dyscalculia (dyscalculia) is a learning difficulty thought to be specific to mathematics. The talk will summarize our behavioural and electro-encephalography (EEG) research on numerical development of typically developing children and DD. My focus will be on a major research project we carried out with more than 1000 children. We studied how working memory, attention, inhibition, spatial processing and logical reasoning skills relate to numerical development and dyscalculia in 9-year-old primary school children. The theoretical and practical significance of findings will be discussed.
Food will be provided. The room is a tentative location – it is possible that we will switch to a larger one. If this is the case, we will let you know.
