A case of acalculia due to impaired procedural knowledge

Author: Elena Cecilia Rosca

Published in: Neurological Sciences | Issue 2/2009

Abstract

The present paper describes the single-case of a patient presenting acalculia with preserved arithmetic facts but impaired procedural knowledge, being unable to resolve mental or written complex calculations. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of the different theoretical models that have been proposed for the cognitive mechanisms underlying calculation skills.
