患有脑积水的儿童数学能力很差。我们通过比较脑积水患儿、典型的同龄优秀阅读者以及与脑积水患儿数学水平相匹配的幼儿的书面减法错误来研究他们算术计算错误的本质。脑积水儿童比年龄匹配的对照组犯更多的程序性错误（尽管没有更多的事实检索或视觉空间错误）；我们还调查了广泛的数学能力，发现患有脑积水的儿童在几何和应用数学技能（如估计和解决问题）的测试中比同龄的对照组表现得更差。脑积水儿童的计算缺陷反映了程序性知识的延迟发展。特定数学领域的问题，如几何和应用数学，与视觉空间能力、记忆力和一般知识等基本认知技能的缺陷有关。
Children with hydrocephalus have poor math skills. We investigated the nature of their arithmetic computation errors by comparing written subtraction errors in good readers with hydrocephalus, typically developing good readers of the same age, and younger children matched for math level to the children with hydrocephalus. Children with hydrocephalus made more procedural errors (although not more fact retrieval or visual-spatial errors) than age-matched controls; they made the same number of procedural errors as younger, math-level matched children, We also investigated a broad range of math abilities, and found that children with hydrocephalus performed more poorly than age-matched controls on tests of geometry and applied math skills such as estimation and problem solving. Computation deficits in children with hydrocephalus reflect delayed development of procedural knowledge. Problems in specific math domains such as geometry and applied math, were associated with deficits in constituent cognitive skills such as visual spatial competence, memory, and general knowledge.
