More Research on Dyscalculia

By , About.com GuideAugust 29, 2012

Follow me on:

New research findings are suggesting that disrupted or inefficient neural communication between the hemispheres in the brain may contribute to math disabilities seen in dyscalculia. In other words, our two hemispheres need to communicate with each other. If so, are there tasks that help bridge the communication? See more about the study in Science Daily.

Well this article was really interesting. Our brain indeed is such an important part of our body that controls every other organ of our body. A dysfunctional brain or a partially functional brain make life really difficult.

Is math the solution to accelerating the remedial and cognitive abilities of the brain? YES! As a music and the brain author and research analyst, the innate and inherent language of the brain may, in fact, be a mathematical science of structural form and motion. Preliminary research documents rapid acceleration in student math scores accelerating from D’s and F’s to 98% during a three to six month study. In addition, when the new music primer course was presented to children with special needs, their reading abiity accelerated from D’s and F’s to A’s and B’s during a 3 month study of the new program.
