Abstract:
Acalculia has been defined as an acquired disturbance in number processing and computational ability. Acalculia which caused by various diseases has a great effect on activity of daily living. This article presents a review of Standardized Tests of Acalculia(including EC301 calculation and number processing battery, Number Processing and Calculation battery and Johns Hopkins Dyscalculia Battery) and cognitive rehabilitation for acalculia. The main strategy for rehabilitation is to re-teach lost knowledge via extensive practice according to the evaluative results. Those are described in 5 domains: the understanding of numbers, number transcoding, arithmetical facts, complex calculation and mathematics applications.
