Several neurodevelopmental disorders of known genetic etiology generate phenotypes that share the characteristic of numerical and mathematical cognitive impairments. This article reviews some of the main findings that suggest a possible key role that spatial and temporal information processing impairments may play in the atypical development of numerical cognitive competence. The question of what neural substrate might underlie these impairments is also addressed, as are the challenges for interpreting neural structure/cognitive function mapping in atypically developing populations.
几种已知遗传病因的神经发育障碍会产生具有数字和数学认知障碍特征的表型。本文综述了一些主要研究结果,这些结果表明空间和时间信息处理障碍可能在数字认知能力的非典型发展中发挥关键作用。还探讨了这些障碍可能基于何种神经基质的问题,以及在非典型发育人群中解释神经结构/认知功能映射所面临的挑战。
