Under specific learning disabilities, when a learner experiences severe difficulty in performing mathematical calculations, understanding numbers, recognizing mathematical symbols (such as +, -, ×, ÷), and mentally organizing spatial relationships, despite having adequate general intelligence, sensory organs, and conventional educational opportunities, what is this specific neurological developmental disorder called?
✓ Correct! Well done.
✗ Not quite — the correct answer is highlighted above.
Detailed Explanation
Correct Answer: Option (c)
The specific learning disability described in the question is Dyscalculia.
Dyscalculia is a neurological-based specific learning disability that affects an individual's ability to learn mathematical concepts, perform calculations with numbers, and understand mathematical reasoning.
- Children affected by this disorder face severe difficulties in remembering arithmetic facts.
- They struggle with understanding the magnitude of numbers and solving problems related to time or measurement.
