Learning unit contents
This sequence of learning aims at describing the origins and the typical and atypical development of math competences. The following topic will be presented :
- Evolution of numerical notation in the human species
- Numerical Competence in Animals
- Ontogenesis : inital state
- Typical development of numerical skills
- Numbers and fingers
- Math learning disabilities
- Acquired math learning disabilities
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
The objective of this course is to give students the necessary theoretical background in order to understand the field of numerical cognition. They will have to know the main developmental steps and the cognitive processes involved in numerical development. They will havbe able to recognize the main characteristics of mathematics learning disabilities and understand the factors that could contribute to the emergence of these disorders.

Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire, open-ended questions )
- Remote
written exam ( multiple-choice questionnaire )
Additional information:
The final assessment is a written exam consisting of a first part with closed questions (generalised true-false; out of 20 points) and a second part with open questions (out of 20 points). The first part evaluates the knowledge of the course content while the second part evaluates the understanding of the contents and the ability to apply and analyze it. The student must therefore obtain a score of at least 10/20 for each part.
- If the student fails the first part, the second part is not marked and a score of 0/20 is awarded for the second part. The overall score awarded is the average of the mark for the first part and the mark of 0/20. The answers expected for the second part (Open-ended Questions) will be explained to the students present at this session.
- If the student passes the first part and fails the second, only the mark for the second part (out of 20) is awarded. The mark for the first part is therefore not taken into account in calculating the overall mark.
- If both parts are passed, the overall mark is established by averaging the two marks.
