DESCRIPTION:The developmental literature has revealed a wide variety of fa
 ctors that correlate with individual differences in mathematical cognition
 . In this talk\, I will review the research we have done over more than a 
 decade on this topic. This work highlights the critical role of domain-spe
 cific skills. Originally centered around magnitude processing\, it has bec
 ome increasingly clear that these domain-specific skills encompass a wide 
 variety of symbolic numerical skills. I will review studies on these speci
 fic abilities in typically developing children\, children at risk for math
  difficulties and children with exceptionally high mathematical skills. I 
 will also discuss intervention work as well as studies that have examined 
 the causal impact of schooling on these domain-specific skills.\n\nHost: P
