In a typical classroom, you’ll find children who are exceptionally good at math while some struggle. Some kids seem to be particularly poor at math, though, showing difficulty even when routinely adding or subtracting even after extensive schooling. 在典型的课堂上,你会找到一些数学非常好的孩子,而另外一些孩子却在与数学苦苦争斗。某些孩子们似乎特别不擅长数学,即便在学校学过,但某些孩子甚至就连加减法都有问题。 A pair of researchers at Georgetown University Medical Center and Stanford University made an extensive review of the current literature and found evidence of a form of ‘math disability’, which is related to dyslexia. Their theory suggests math disability is linked to abnormalities in brain areas supporting procedural memory. 乔治城大学医疗中心和斯坦福大学的两名研究人员回顾了当代文献,发现一种与阅读障碍有关的“数学废”(math disability)。他们的理论认为,数学废与大脑中负责产生记忆的部位异常有关。 |
