MEC seminar: Neurocognitive mechanisms of mathematics

3 March, 2pm – 5pm, Online

Dr Mojtaba Soltanlou,’Neurocognitive mechanisms of mathematics learning in children with mathematics disabilities’, (University of Surrey)

While arithmetic training reduces fronto-temporo-parietal activation related to domain-general processes in typically developing (TD) children, we know very little about the training-related neurocognitive changes in children with mathematical disabilities (MD), who seek evidenced-based educational interventions.

Mr Adel Shaban, ‘Developing a User-Centred Cognitive Application to Improve Working Memory for Children with Learning Difficulties’, (Teesside University)

Children with learning difficulties (LDs) often have limited working memory (WM) capacity, meaning that they fail to meet the required amount of information needed to be processed and held while learning new skills. As soon as those children are able to overcome their WM limits, they would be able to learn as effectively as their peers.
