Domain-general and domain-specific cognitive correlates of developmental dyscalculia: a systematic review of the last two decades’ literature

Learning Objectives:

1. Describe the role of domain-general factors, especially executive function (working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive shifting), in understanding cognitive deficits in developmental dyscalculia.

2. Describe the role of domain-specific factors (number sense ability, especially approximate and symbolic number abilities) in understanding cognitive deficits in developmental dyscalculia.
