DIFFICULTIES IN LEARNING CALCULATION: CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PSYCHOPEDAGOGICAL ASSESSMENT

There is enough empirical evidence about developmental calculation disorders (DCD), where specific impairments in basic mathematical operations and related cognitive systems as working memory and perception have been described. This paper aims to provide clinical evidence contributing to establish a...

description There is enough empirical evidence about developmental calculation disorders (DCD), where specific impairments in basic mathematical operations and related cognitive systems as working memory and perception have been described. This paper aims to provide clinical evidence contributing to establish a rigorous diagnosis in the mentioned domain. A two-case study is presented (7 and 8 years old children). Numerical comprehension and basic operation deficit is shown in individually applied validated batteries, as well as in working memory and perception domains. Main diagnostic indicators of the cognitive disturbance in early schooling are described. Early identification is essential to the opportune pedagogical approach. There is no general intelligence, sensorial or emotional impairments in any of the studied cases. These findings provide additional clinical resources for clinicians facing a DCD. In the present cases, a visuospatial disorder could be related to the deficit.

Este estudio tiene el objetivo de proporcionar evidencia clínica que contribuya a un diagnóstico riguroso. Se presentarán dos estudios de caso (7 y 8 años) que demuestran a través de pruebas normalizadas y de administración individual, déficits en la comprensión del número y la realización de cálculos elementales,  en la percepción visoespacial, atención y memoria de trabajo. Se mostrarán los principales signos que permiten identificar el problema al inicio de la escolarización a efectos de realizar precozmente las orientaciones psicopedagógicas necesarias. La inteligencia es normal de acuerdo a pruebas estándar, la instrucción educativa es adecuada, y se descartan alteraciones sensoriales y emocionales. Estos hallazgos contribuyen en la descripción adecuada de la semiología esperada ante una DD para un adecuado diagnóstico. En los casos descritos, se encuentran perturbaciones visuoespaciales posiblemente relacionadas.Universidad Católica del Uruguay2010-05-302025-12-22T16:33:57Z2025-12-22T16:33:57Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/cienciaspsicologicas/article/view/10710.22235/cp.v4i1.107https://hdl.handle.net/10895/5213Ciencias Psicológicas; 2010; Volumen 4 (1); 7-15Ciencias Psicológicas; 2010; Volumen 4 (1); 7-15Ciencias Psicológicas; 2010; Volumen 4 (1); 7-151688-422110.22235/cp.v4i1reponame:LIBERIinstname:Universidad Católica del Uruguayinstacron:Universidad Católica del Uruguayspahttps://revistas.ucu.edu.uy/index.php/cienciaspsicologicas/article/view/107/95Derechos de autor 2010 Ciencias Psicológicashttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:liberi.ucu.edu.uy:10895/52132026-06-16T06:51:36Z
