Description

Calcularis is a computer-based adaptive training system developed to support numerical cognition and arithmetic learning in children with developmental dyscalculia or mathematics difficulties.

Components

• Calcularis adaptive computer-based training system for numerical cognition: Calcularis is a computer-based training system for enhancing numerical cognition in children with developmental dyscalculia or mathematics difficulties, composed of multiple games in a hierarchical structure grouped into Part A (number representations and understanding, e.g. the LANDING game) and Part B (cognitive operations and procedures with numbers, e.g. the PLUS-MINUS game). The article states it provides "a fully adaptive learning environment" in which the student model and controlling algorithm optimize learning by providing an ideal level of cognitive stimulation. Its curriculum is structured on the natural, hierarchical development of number processing, with specific numerical stimulus design and training of operations and procedures. (Käser et al. (2013))

Claims

• Six weeks of adaptive training produced a significant improvement in subtraction relative to a waiting control group [+M]
• Probability of correctly solving key-skill tasks rose by an estimated 21.8% over the training period [+M]
