TL;DR: A few neuroimaging studies revealed that brain activation during number comparison correlates with children's mathematics achievement level, but the consistency of such relationships for symbolic and non-symbolic processing is unclear.

TL;DR: The authors reviewed the literature to assess concurrent relationships between mathematics and executive function skills, and highlighted key theoretical issues within the field and identified future avenues for research, highlighting the role of executive function skill in the performance of mathematical calculations.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented that brain activation during letter perception is influenced in different, important ways by previous handwriting of letters versus previous typing or tracing of those same letters, which demonstrates that handwriting is important for the early recruitment in letter processing of brain regions known to underlie successful reading.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of early spatial experiences and their impacts on school readiness are discussed, as well as factors that influence the amount and quality of spatial play and suggest methods for providing a "spatial education" prior to school entry.

TL;DR: A comprehensive overview of embodied cognition in the domains of event memory, memory for concrete, abstract and number concepts as well as reading and writing can be found in this article, where the authors highlight the relevance of appropriate sensory and motor interactions during learning for the efficient development of human cognition.
