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).

Design and evaluation of a systematic finger-based intervention for early numeracy in 5- to 6-year-olds [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEarly numeracy is a building block for later mathematics achievement in school. Recently, the use of fingers in early numeracy instruction received increasing attention as a prominent example of embodied cognition.

Finger-counting in the Upper Palaeolithic
, 2014 Upper Palaeolithic hand stencils at Cosquer Cave have been interpreted as forming a numeric code. The present analysis examined ‘digits’ at Cosquer and Gargas from the perspectives of modern ethnography, shared cognitive functioning and human hand ...

When Digits Help Digits: Spatial–Numerical Associations Point to Finger Counting as Prime Example of Embodied Cognition [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 Spatial–numerical associations (SNAs) are prevalent yet their origin is poorly understood. We first consider the possible prime role of reading habits in shaping SNAs and list three observations that argue against a prominent influence of this role: (1 ...

Stimulating numbers: signatures of finger counting in numerosity processing
Psychological Research, 2018 Finger counting is one of the first steps in the development of mature number concepts. With a one-to-one correspondence of fingers to numbers in Western finger counting, fingers hold two numerical meanings: one is based on the number of fingers raised and the second is based on their ordinal position within the habitual finger counting sequence.

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.

, 2021 Despite variety of cultures, our shared biology and the universality of finger counting suggests that numbers are embodied. Another lines of research show that numerical cognition might be bound to what our bodies are able to do.
