The present study focuses on the narrower phenotype of DD rather than the broader diagnostic category of MD, since it is believed that the etiology of DD is distinct from that of other math difficulties [ 19, 47].
Dual language, whose aim is to teach or reinforce a foreign language, is distinct from bilingual education, where subjects like math and science are taught in a foreign language temporarily while students make the transition into regular English-only classes.
It relies on two domains that remain generally distinct: the design with a scientific approach (generally math-based) and the design with a sensory and perceptual approach (subjective).
Given the relatively coarse (mm) scale of dMRI, it is possible that distinct types of intervention (e.g., training in reading vs. math skills) affect distinct subpopulations of fibers with distinct cortical terminations and functional roles.
We knew that differences in what is called cognitive ability such as math and reading test scores could not explain the distinct gaps.
The mathematics department has a specialty track for students in math ecology that includes a set of preliminary examinations distinct from those in the traditional math degree.
Working with Hyman Bass, a mathematician at the University of Michigan, Ball began to theorize that while teaching math obviously required subject knowledge, the knowledge seemed to be something distinct from what she had learned in math class.
The funny parents of Twitter have summed up this distinct feeling of frustration and resentment quite well, touching on everything from revisiting math problems they thought they'd left behind years ago to giving in and admitting defeat.
Moreover, by using the arithmetic-affective priming task, we were able to show that math anxiety is specific to the math context, and so is distinct from and occurs in the absence of generalized anxiety.
Although not clearly discussed or scientifically studied, math anxiety is thought as specific to math context and therefore distinct and occurring in the absence of generalized anxiety [e.g., see [ 13] who extended Eysenck & Calvo's [ 14] predictions about generalized anxiety and working memory to math anxiety].
