Understanding Mathematical Learning Disorder in Regard to Executive and Cerebellar Functioning: a Failure of Procedural Consolidation

“…According to the model, EF developed from the necessity of early human ancestors to make quick survival decisions relying more predominantly on motor skills. This appears to be consistent with the fact that motor skills are the first to appear in prenatal and neonatal development, and they are the first skills to become automated (Koziol et al, 2014b(Koziol et al, , 2016Malina, 2004;Njiokiktjien, 2010). This is not to say that motor skills are in and of themselves EF, but rather that executive functions allow for the automatic expression of motor skills, which were initially necessary for survival.…”
