The Relationship between Working Memory and Acquisition of Mathematical Strategies in Children with Cerebral Palsy: A Review of Literature

| description | Background: Cerebral Palsy (CP) is defined as non-progressive brain damage
attributed to limitation in mobility, learning, language, and communication.
The high prevalence of low academic achievement in learning mathematics
in CP cases is related, in part, to multifactorial influences; working memory
may be one of the factors which can be related to arithmetic attainment. The
purpose of this article was to review the relationship of working memory with
mathematical performance in children with CP.
Methods: In this Review of literature article, Five English search engines (Pubmed,
Scopus, Science direct, EMBASE, and Central) were used with key words,
“cerebral palsy, arithmetic, mathematical performance, and working memory”.
The inclusion criteria were English relevant articles in which participants had CP
and both mathematical abilities and working memory were assessed.
Results: A total of 103 articles were screened. Twenty-five potentially relevant
titles or abstracts were identified. Based on inclusion criteria, only 7 articles were
found.
Conclusion: Given the high risk of mathematical learning difficulties in children
with CP, information about mathematical skills and the role of working memory
on the different components of mathematical strategies is limited. Further
research should be carried out to investigate this issue. The findings in this study
showed the relationship between working memory and the difficulties with
mathematical and numerical learning of CP cases. |
