The primary goal of this review is to highlight current research and theories describing the
neurobiological basis of math (MD), reading (RD), and comorbid math and reading disability …

Children with dyslexia frequently also struggle with math. However, studies of reading
disability (RD) rarely assess math skill, and the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying co …

Reading disability (RD) and math disability (MD) frequently co-occur, but the etiology of this
comorbidity is not well understood. Groups with RD only (N= 241), MD only (N= 183), and …

Poor mathematical abilities adversely affect academic and career opportunities. The
neuroanatomical basis of developmental dyscalculia (DD), a specific learning deficit with …

Two hypotheses have been proposed about the etiology of neurodevelopmental learning
disorders, such as dyslexia and dyscalculia: representation impairments and disrupted …

Strong foundational skills in mathematical problem solving, acquired in early childhood, are
critical not only for success in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematical …

A large body of research suggests that mathematical learning disability (MLD) is related to
working memory impairment. Here, I organize part of this literature through a meta-analysis …

The study of developmental disorders can provide a unique window into the role of domain-
general cognitive abilities and neural systems in typical and atypical development …

Brain disorders are often investigated in isolation, but very different conclusions might be
reached when studies directly contrast multiple disorders. Here, we illustrate this in the …
