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.

Finger counting and numerical cognition [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2012 Following a recent surge of interest in finger-based number knowledge, we invited empirical and conceptual contributions to assess the feasibility of a Research Topic on this issue. We received a considerable number of submissions, many of which were further improved by constructive and interactive peer-review and ultimately appeared as part of the ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
