About this Item

Neuware - Developmental Dyscalculia: From Brain Mechanisms to Educational Applications presents research with a domain-general approach. It examines issues in the fields of numerical and non-numerical cognitive domains, neuro- mechanisms, and pedagogic issues to pave the way to a bridge between lab research, daily life, and curriculum applications, with a goal of finding a pathway to early diagnosis and interventions of developmental dyscalculia. It will be of interest to researchers with interests in cognitive neuroscience and education, to contribute fruitful discussions between education and neuro-cognition.¿.

About the Authors

Dr. Yarden Gliksman is a faculty member in the Behavioral Sciences department at Ruppin Academic Center. She is a cognitive psychologist and an expert in learning disabilities. She has a strong background in basic and applied sciences, and over 15 years of hands-on experience in the fields of education, teacher training and learning disabilities diagnosis and interventions, specifically in the field of numerical cognition and developmental dyscalculia. She serves as an ad-hoc reviewer of peer-revied journals.

Dr. Liane Kaufman is a senior scientist at the University of Innsbruck, Austria. She is a clinical psychologist with a specialization in clinical neuropsychology. She is editor-in-chief of the scientific journal “Lernen und Lernstörungen” / “Learning and Learning Disabilities” (German-language journal that also publishes English-language manuscripts) and an ad-hoc reviewer of peer-reviewed journals. The main research interests of Dr. Kaufmann are numerical cognition, and attentional and executive processes in healthy individuals and clinical populations.

Dr. Avishai Henik is a Professor of Psychology at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. He holds a consulting editorial position with several journals (e.g., Psychonomic Bulletin and Review, Journal of Experimental Psychology: General) and serves regularly as an ad-hoc reviewer for various journals in the field and for granting agencies. Dr. Henik has over 300 publications of which most are in peer-reviewed journals. He has edited or co-edited three books in the area of numerical cognition. A leader in the field, he was awarded a prestigious European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Researcher grant to continue his cutting-edge research on the contribution of non-countable dimensions to the development and understanding of numerical cognition.
