No fingers, no SNARC? Spatial-Numerical Associations and temporal stability of finger counting
The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect (i.e., faster left/right side responses to small/large magnitude numbers, respectively) is considered as strong evidence for the link between numbers and space.

The Implicit Contribution of Fine Motor Skills to Mathematical Insight in Early Childhood
Understanding number magnitude is an important prerequisite for children’s mathematical development. One early experience that contributes to this understanding is the common practice of finger counting.

The role of fingers in number processing in young children
The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between finger counting and numerical processing in 4- to 7-year-old children. Children were assessed on a variety of numerical tasks and we examined the correlations between their rates of

Finger-Counting among the Romans in the Fourth Century [PDF]
In spite of the difficulties presented by their cumbersome numerical signs, the Romans were yet able to perform complicated mathematical problems by means of the abacus and by a system of finger-counting. The truth of this statement is generally recognized; but when one turns to the various works on Roman private life for information as to the actual ...

The influence of implicit hand-based representations on mental arithmetic
Recently, a strong functional relationship between finger counting and number processing has been suggested. It has been argued that bodily experiences such as finger counting may influence the structure of the basic mental representations of numbers ...
