Abstract

The development of mathematical abilities constitutes a crucial foundation in our modern and educated societies. In the past decades, neuroscientists have begun to investigate the neurocognitive mechanisms associated with the development of these abilities. The present chapter summarizes our current knowledge about the functional brain organization related to the processing of basic numerical information and arithmetic. Relevant neurocognitive models and brain networks associated with the processing of non-symbolic numerical quantities, symbolic numerical representations – such as numerical order – and arithmetic will be discussed in detail. The presented evidence demonstrates that the development of these abilities cannot be restricted to a single cognitive mechanism or to a single brain region. It rather constitutes complex and multidimensional concepts that incorporate multiple cognitive abilities, representational dimensions, and brain regions.
