• Abstract: The acquisition and performance of arithmetic skills and basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are essential for daily functioning, and reflect complex cognitive processes. This paper explores the cognitive mechanisms powering arithmetic learning, presenting a neurobiologically plausible cognitive architecture that simulates the acquisition of these skills. I implement a number vectorization embedding network and an associative memory model to investigate how an intelligent system can learn and recall arithmetic equations in a manner analogous to the human brain. I perform experiments that provide insights into the generalization capabilities of connectionist models, neurological causes of dyscalculia, and the influence of network architecture on cognitive performance. Through this interdisciplinary investigation, I aim to contribute to ongoing research into the neural correlates of mathematical cognition in intelligent systems.

  The human brain has long inspired the pursuit of artificial intelligence (AI) Recent neuroimaging studies provide compelling evidence of alignment between the computational representation of artificial neural networks (ANNs) and the neural responses of the human brain to stimuli. In this study, we bridge this gap by directly coupling sub-groups of artificial neurons with functional brain networks (FBNs) This framework links the AN sub-groups to FBNs, enabling the delineation of brain-like functional organization within large language models (LLMs)
