A Stanford-led study suggests that some children who struggle in math may have trouble adjusting their approach after errors during number-comparison tasks, rather than having only a core difficulty with numbers. Using brain imaging and computational modeling, researchers reported weaker activity in brain regions involved in monitoring performance and adapting behavior, patterns that also helped predict which children were more likely to struggle.
