Many children have significant mathematical learning disabilities (MLD, or
dyscalculia) despite adequate schooling. The current study hypothesizes that MLD
partly results from a deficiency in the Approximate Number System (ANS) that
supports nonverbal numerical representations across species and throughout
development. In this study of 71 ninth graders, it is shown that students with
MLD have significantly poorer ANS precision than students in all other
mathematics achievement groups (low, typically, and high achieving), as measured
by psychophysical assessments of ANS acuity (w) and of the mappings between ANS
representations and number words (cv). This relation persists even when
controlling for domain-general abilities. Furthermore, this ANS precision does
not differentiate low-achieving from typically achieving students, suggesting an
ANS deficit that is specific to MLD.
