Animal Speedometer Beats Dyscalculia or Number Blindness.



I found this funny at first, but then on research i found it is something much more,an excellent thought and an innovative idea- Animal Speedometer Beats Dyscalculia or Number Blindness.Read on.....

It is an excellent and practical idea by Thomas De Santis. The condition known as dyscalculia (number blindness) is more common than dyslexia (word blindness). Recent research suggests that between 3 and 6 per cent of children suffer from dyscalculia, compared to between 2.5 and 4.3 per cent of children who suffer from dyslexia. The main location in the brain accounting for mathematical ability seems to be the right parietal lobe. Studies using electromagnetic pulses show that temporary stunning of the right parietal lobe significantly impairs mathematical abilities in people who are normally good at maths.
