Children
1. Development of number magnitude representations in children
→ Study of the relationships between the development of symbolic and non-symbolic number processing
→ Influence of continuous physical variables (e.g., surface area) on the processing of number magnitude
2. Developmental dyscalculia
→ Study of the influence of cognitive factors on developmental dyscalculia
General cognitive factors:
- Working memory
- Inhibition
- Long-term memory
- F inger gnosis
Numerical cognition factors:
-
Deficits in basic number processing: deficit in the magnitude representation of numbers or in the connection between this representation and number symbols
→ Case studies of children and adults presenting developmental dyscalculia
→ Study of the neuro-functional bases of developmental dyscalculia
→ Development of diagnostic tools (available in German, Dutch and Spanish)
3. Number processing in population with genetic syndromes
→ Study of symbolic and non-symbolic number representation in patients with Williams syndrome, Turner syndrome or 22q11 syndrome: impact of their visual-spatial impairment
4. Interaction between the development of language and number processing
→ Development of number magnitude representations in relation with the development of language in children
→ Development of number magnitude representations in children with specific language impairment
