Recent research
in cognitive and developmental neuroscience is providing a new approach to the understanding of dyscalculia that emphasizes a core deficit
in understanding sets and their
numerosities, which is fundamental to all aspects of elementary school mathematics.
The neural bases of
numerosity processing have been investigated
in structural and functional neuroimaging studies of adults and children, and neural markers of its impairment
in dyscalculia have been identified.
Butterworth's concept of
numerosity coding may be an important part of number sense, says Dehaene, but there is still much to learn about it — for instance, whether it is present
in other animals or
in children from a very early age.
