Boets, Bart; De Smedt, Bert; Ghesquiere, Pol – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2011
Recent findings suggest deficits in coherent motion sensitivity, an index of visual dorsal stream functioning, in children with poor mathematical skills or dyscalculia, a specific learning disability in mathematics. We extended these data using a longitudinal design to unravel whether visual dorsal stream functioning is able to "predict"…
