Finger-Counting and Numerical Structure [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 Number systems differ cross-culturally in characteristics like how high counting extends and which number is used as a productive base. Some of this variability can be linked to the way the hand is used in counting.

The Evolution of Finger Counting between Kindergarten and Grade 2 [PDF]
Children, 2022 In this longitudinal study, we aimed at determining whether children who efficiently use finger counting are more likely to develop internalized arithmetic strategies than children who are less efficient.

Acta Psychologica, 2023 Numerical cognition might be embodied, that is, grounded in bodily actions. This claim is supported by the observation that, potentially due to our shared biology, finger counting is prevalent among a variety of cultures.

French preschool and primary teachers' attitude towards finger counting
Acta Psychologica, 2023 Teachers' beliefs and attitudes are known to guide the type of activities they implement in their classrooms. A traditional conception that finger counting is merely a back-up when children fail to use more sophisticated and efficient strategies could ...

Acta Psychologica, 2022 The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect (i.e., faster left/right sided responses to small/large magnitude numbers, respectively) is considered to be strong evidence for the link between numbers and space.

Effects of finger counting on numerical development – the opposing views of neurocognition and mathematics education [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 Usually children learn the basic principles of number and arithmetic by the help of finger-based representations. However, whether the reliance on finger-based representations is only beneficial or whether it may even become detrimental is the subject of

Nature or Nurture in finger counting: a review on the determinants of the direction of number-finger mapping [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 The spontaneous use of finger counting has been for long recognised as critical to the acquisition of number skills. Recently, the great interest on space-number associations shifted attention to the practice of finger counting itself, and specifically ...

Method for User Interface of Large Displays Using Arm Pointing and Finger Counting Gesture Recognition [PDF]
The Scientific World Journal, 2014 Although many three-dimensional pointing gesture recognition methods have been proposed, the problem of self-occlusion has not been considered. Furthermore, because almost all pointing gesture recognition methods use a wide-angle camera, additional ...

Incidental Counting: Speeded Number Naming Through Finger Movements
Journal of Cognition, 2018 The first steps in numerical cognition are usually done in conjunction with fingers. Following the assumption that abstract concepts stay associated with the sensory-motor information that was present during their acquisition and consolidation, mental ...

NeuroImage, 2012 The embodied cognition framework suggests that neural systems for perception and action are engaged during higher cognitive processes. In an event-related fMRI study, we tested this claim for the abstract domain of numerical symbol processing: is the ...
