Early mathematical learning dynamics in the developing brain

Mathematical thinking is one of the most remarkable human cognitive abilities, but unfortunately, not all individuals are equal concerning those abilities. Becoming numerate is a long-lasting learning process in which the early stages are of paramount importance to ensure positive future outcomes. However, the neural bases supporting these early abilities and the path to inter-individual differences remain elusive. MATHWAVES aims at understanding the neural mechanisms supporting the emergence of the early steps of mathematical learning. First, a longitudinal framework will test whether the developmental trajectory of audio-visual integration of numerical formats is the gateway to…
