Although an emeritus professor, technically retired, Butterworth continues to research the neurodevelopmental
roots of number sense, recently showing that guppies, like humans, possess approximate and precise number systems, and that dyscalculic adults have no more trouble telling the time than numerate people.
A
lack of number sense often translates into struggles later in a student's math career, similar to how a lack of phonemic awareness can keep a child from reading at grade level.
