Neuropsychology of Learning Mathematics

Children need a series of skills to reach mastery for performing mathematics tasks. Theseskills hold some neuropsychological or executive functions, such as attention, language,visuospatial processing memory and learning. These skills are developed throughexperience, and learning. Some children with mathematics problems have considerabledeficits for these functions automatically. In this regard, neuropsychology approach,assumes a causal relationship between location of brain errors and deviations in mathability. Studies on brain hemispheres also show that mathematics requires both rightand left hemisphere. This may be related to the nature of mathematical tasks that makethe differences reveals a hemisphere.
