Children with Down syndrome struggle with early counting skills, particularly learning the number string due to auditory sequential memory difficulties. This research explores their specific errors in early counting acquisition.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Psychology
  • Special Education

Background:

  • Acquisition of counting skills is a foundational aspect of mathematical development.
  • Understanding learning difficulties in children with Down syndrome is crucial for targeted interventions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the specific errors made by pupils with Down syndrome during the early stages of learning to count.
  • To explore the relationship between counting skill acquisition and auditory sequential memory in this population.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of data from a larger survey of pupils with severe learning difficulties.
  • Focus on error patterns in the earliest stages of counting acquisition.

Main Results:

  • Pupils with Down syndrome exhibit distinct error patterns in early counting.

  • These patterns suggest significant challenges with auditory sequential memory, specifically in learning the number string.
  • Conclusions:

    • Difficulties in auditory sequential memory significantly impact the number string acquisition for children with Down syndrome.
    • Findings have practical implications for educational strategies and support for these pupils.
