And Mathematics

Recent research has pointed to two possible causes of mathematical (dis-)ability: working memory and number sense, although only few studies have compared the relations between working memory and mathematics and between number sense and mathematics. In this study, both constructs were studied in relation to mathematics in general, and to mathematical learning disabilities (MLD) in particular. The sample consisted of 154 children aged between 6 and 10 years, including 26 children with MLD. Children performing low on either number sense or visual-spatial working memory scored lower on math tests than children without such a weakness. Children with a double weakness scored the lowest. These results confirm the important role of both visual-spatial working memory and number sense in mathematical development.

The Impact

The paper explores the important role of relatives in designing assistive technologies in collaboration with practitioners. A brief case study reports the collaborative design of a 24-hour clock to reduce the impact of visual–spatial impairment on a family member's ability to read time and prevent temporal disorientation.

Abstract Several theories propose that emotions and self-awareness arise from the integration of internal and external signals and their respective precision-weighted expectations. Supporting these mechanisms, research indicates that the brain uses temporal cues from cardiac signals to predict auditory stimuli and that these predictions and their prediction errors can be observed in the scalp heartbeat-evoked potential (HEP). We investigated the effect of precision modulations on these cross-modal predictive mechanisms, via attention and interoceptive ability. We presented auditory sequences at short (perceived synchronous) or long (perceived asynchronous) cardio-audio delays, with half of the trials including an omission. Participants attended to the cardio-audio synchronicity of the tones (internal attention) or the auditory stimuli alone (external attention). Comparing HEPs during omissions allowed for the observation of pure predictive signals, without contaminating auditory input. We observed an early effect of cardio-audio delay, reflecting a difference in heartbeat-driven expectations. We also observed a larger positivity to the omissions of sounds perceived as synchronous than to the omissions of sounds perceived as asynchronous when attending internally only, consistent with the role of attentional precision for enhancing predictions. These results provide support for attentionally modulated cross-modal predictive coding and suggest a potential tool for investigating its role in emotion and self-awareness.

The Brain

The human visual system is organized as a hierarchy of maps that share the retina's topography. Although retinotopic maps have been identified throughout the brain, how much of the brain is visually organized remains unknown. Here we demonstrate widespread stable visual organization beyond the traditional visual system by analyzing topographic connectivity with primary visual cortex during moviewatching, rest, and retinotopic mapping. Detailed visual-spatial organization derived from retinotopic connectivity is modulated by experimental condition. Specifically, traditionally visual regions alternate with default mode network and hippocampus in preferentially representing the center of the visual field. This visual role of hippocampus would allow it to implement sensory predictions by interfacing between abstract memories and concrete perceptions. These results indicate that pervasive sensory coding facilitates the communication between far-flung brain regions.

Learning And Cognition

Recent research on theory of mind (ToM) provides insights into challenges to learning and cognition in both children and adults. This chapter reviews the literature on ToM in general, focusing on the areas of difference from the viewpoint of ToM as a way to understand the challenges to learning and cognition in deaf and hard-of-hearing learners. Deaf and hard-of-hearing people demonstrate similar abilities to those with typical hearing across several cognitive tasks, including, but not limited to, imagination, creativity, and long-term memory. Differences exist, however, in the domains of visual-spatial processing, short-term memory, and executive functioning. These similarities and differences have implications for learning and cognitive development as they interact with ToM concepts. Concepts explored include, but are not limited to, language, affect, social experiences, the role of the family and the environment, learning, and reading.
