Study of Math Processing in Children

"...the brian dedicates a region to understanding maths by as early as four-years-old." The ability of the mind is remarkable, especially in children. However, a side observation of the study recognizes that "...children showed this (math) activation largely on the right hand side of the brain, whereas adults showed similar activation on both sides." The research indicates that more complex mathmatical understanding comes with symbolic operations learned during and after school.
