Abstract

La capacidad para utilizar las representaciones simbólicas en diferentes contextos es un recurso adaptativo indispensable para resolver con fluidez las situaciones numéricas.  Recientemente, en el ámbito científico se ha abierto un debate acerca de los procesos cognitivos específicos involucrados en la competencia numérica que podría impactar en futuras conceptualizaciones sobre las características de las dificultades del aprendizaje matemático.  Sin embargo, los aportes actuales de la neurociencia y la psicología cognitiva se traducen en un marco referencial interdisciplinario que permite describir las dificultades en el aprendizaje matemático y la discalculia de desarrollo, diseñar intervenciones preventivas y proponer prácticas educativas adecuadas a los perfiles de desempeño de los estudiantes.
