Some researchers count disabilities in spatial perception or arithmetic operations as dyscalculia, while others restrict it to difficulty recognizing numbers normally. Cohen Kadosh's tests hold out the possibility that different math dysfunctions could well be processed elsewhere in the brain. "I won't say this study provides all the answers," says Sharma...
