Heterogeneity of Function in Numerical Cognition

Editat de Avishai Henik, Wim Fias
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 18 mai 2018
Heterogeneity of Function in Numerical Cognition presents the latest updates on ongoing research and discussions regarding numerical cognition. With great individual differences in the development or function of numerical cognition at neuroanatomical, neuropsychological, behavioral, and interactional levels, these issues are important for the achievement of a comprehensive understanding of numerical cognition, hence its brain basis, development, breakdown in brain-injured individuals, and failures to master mathematical skills. These functions are essential for the proper development of numerical cognition.


  • Provides an innovative reference on the emerging field of numerical cognition and the branches that converge on this diverse cognitive domain
  • Includes an overview of the multiple disciplines that comprise numerical cognition
  • Focuses on factors that influence numerical cognition, such as language, executive attention, memory and spatial processing
  • Features an innovative organization with each section providing a general overview, developmental research, and evidence from neurocognitive studies
