<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Aptos",sans-serif"><font size="2">This Collection invites submissions that investigate
mechanisms underlying mathematical learning and underachievement in various
learning environments, capturing protective and risk factors through cognitive,
affective and educational outcomes across earlier and more advanced developmental
stages (e.g., from early years to adulthood). Manuscripts submitted to the
Collection may include original primary research Articles and reviews. <span> </span>Full details about the Collection can be found
