This trial studies interventions to improve math and cognitive (thinking) skills in elementary school children. It includes both children with math learning difficulties and typically developing children, using tests and MRI brain scans for those who can participate.
This study looks at how math skills and thinking skills affect each other in first graders with math learning difficulties. If your child is in a participating school and scores below certain levels on math and memory tests, they may be able to join.
This study follows children’s thinking and learning over time using simple testing at school. It aims to better estimate how children’s thinking develops and how it changes as they grow.
This study looks at how children in kindergarten think and learn (often called “executive function”). They may be testing whether certain patterns in thinking and behavior relate to learning or development, and what can be measured in young children.
This study tests a computer-based training program designed to help children with autism improve their thinking and learning skills. It may help children become better at planning, focusing, and understanding their own thoughts.
This study tests whether combining brain stimulation with reading and motor training can help improve reading skills in 9-year-old boys with dyslexia. It focuses on children who also have mild motor coordination challenges.
