Cardinal and ordinal aspects of finger-counting habits predict different individual differences in embodied numerosity [PDF]

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2018
The hand with which one starts to count has been shown repeatedly to influence numerical performance. However, methods vary greatly in how researchers determine starting hand.

Cross-cultural and intra-cultural differences in finger-counting habits and number magnitude processing: Embodied numerosity in Canadian and Chinese university students

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2016
Recent work in numerical cognition has shown-that number magnitude is not entirely abstract, and at least partly rooted in embodied and situated experiences, including finger-counting. The current study extends previous cross-cultural research to address

Tactile Enumeration and Embodied Numerosity Among the Deaf [PDF]

Cognitive Science, 2020
AbstractRepresentations of the fingers are embodied in our cognition and influence performance in enumeration tasks. Among deaf signers, the fingers also serve as a tool for communication in sign language. Previous studies in normal hearing (NH) participants showed effects of embodiment (i.e., embodied numerosity) on tactile enumeration using the ...

Discerning Quantity: Numerosity in Two Embodied Machine Learning Agents [PDF]

Behavioral Sciences
As artificial intelligence systems continue to overcome evermore challenging tasks, researchers have suggested that the time is ripe to begin evaluating these systems along more psychologically inspired lines.

Object numerosity influence sensorimotor programs evoked by graspable object nouns [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology
Grasping actions can be evoked and modulated by a range of linguistic and abstract concepts, including object nouns, adjectives and numbers. The present study investigated whether the grasp-compatibility effect—typically elicited by graspable object ...

Spatial Presentations, but Not Response Formats Influence Spatial-Numerical Associations in Adults [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
According to theories of embodied numerosity, processing of numerical magnitude is anchored in bodily experiences. In particular, spatial representations of number interact with movement in physical space, but it is still unclear whether the extent of ...

The influence of embodied cognition on the perception and representation of numbers: A meta-analysis

Acta Psychologica
The impact of embodiment on numerical cognition remains under debate, with varying interpretations of its role in numerical processing. To clarify the overall effect size of embodied numerosity and its influencing factors, this study conducted a meta ...

Do numbers make us handy? Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence for number-hand congruency effect

Acta Psychologica, 2023
Finger counting facilitates numerical representations and mathematical processing. The current study investigated the association between finger counting habits and number processing by employing behavioral and electrophysiological measures.

Embodied finger counting in children with different cultural backgrounds and hand dominance [PDF]

Psychology in Russia: State of Art, 2017
Background. Embodied finger counting has been shown to have cross-cultural differences in previous studies (Lindemann, Alipour, & Fisher, 2011; Soto & Lalain, 2008).

Fine motor skills and finger gnosia contribute to preschool children's numerical competencies

Acta Psychologica, 2022
Facets of fine motor skills (FMS) and finger gnosia have been reported to predict young children's numerical competencies, possibly by affecting early finger counting experiences.
