The manual combines standard classroom exercises with theory-driven exercises that are grounded on major principles of cognitive psychology that have proven important for understanding numbers: symbolic number knowledge, spatialization of numbers, focus on relevant information while suppressing irrelevant information, … Check it out here [disclaimer: it is in French 😉 ]

Great moment this week: I received some copies of my book!!
Numerical Cognition: The Basics provides an understanding of the neural and cognitive mechanisms
that enable us to perceive, process, and memorize numerical information. Starting from basic numerica
l competencies that humans share with other species, the book explores the mental coding of numbers
and their neural representation. It explains the strategies of mental calculation, their pitfalls and their
development, as well as the developmental steps children make while learning about numbers.
The book gradually builds our understanding of the underlying mental processes of numeracy and
concludes with an insightful examination of the diagnosis, etiology and treatment of dyscalculia.
Written in an accessible manner, the book summarizes and critically evaluates the major psychological
explanations for various empirical phenomena in numerical cognition. Containing a wealth of student-friendly
features including end of chapter summaries, informative figures, further reading lists, and links to relevant websites,
Numerical Cognition: The Basics is an essential starting point for anybody new to the field.
