Are you weak in math? What does this say about health?

Did you hate algebra in high school?

A group of researchers from Georgetown Medical University and Stanford University believe that if you're weak in math, it may not be just academic weakness, but it's actually psychological disorder.

Their findings, published in the newspaper Frontiers Psychology, show how different the brain is of those who are weak in mathematics and what this says about their general health of cognitive skills.

Mathematical disabilities occur when there are certain anomalies to support procedural memory. Researchers have identified basic ganglia brain structures and areas in the frontal and spatial lobe, which may be responsible for the inability to process math problems.

Researchers are calling it “Proposetosis of the deficit” that can explain that those who are weak in math also have short-term memory problems that cause people to have difficulty remembering numbers.

Math problems and dyslexia can be linked to cognitive problems because learning depends on the procedures and declarative memory systems of the brain.

The declarative system is part of the brain that is used when we learn how to drive, which means that having a problem in everyday life can mark the tip of brain skills.
