Brief Summary of Experiment
Children with math-related learning disability are invited to participate in an online training program designed to improve math skills. The program targets arithmetic as well as visual-spatial and executive functions that are essential for math performance.
Preliminary results
12 children with genetically-based math disability completed the curriculum and demonstrated significant improvements in processing speed (p = .03), numeration (p = .03), algebra (p = .01), geometry (p = .03) and mental flexibility (p = .04) with a trend for improvement in working memory (p = .08).
