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.

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 ...

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

Is finger-counting necessary for the development of arithmetic abilities? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 In the literature on numerical cognition, it is generally assumed that fingers play a functional role in the development of a mature counting system (Gelman and Gallistel, 1978; Fuson et al., 1982; Fuson, 1988; Butterworth, 1999a,b, 2005). Indeed, fingers have been assumed to contribute to: (1) giving an iconic representation of numbers (Fayol and ...

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.

Correcting Finger Counting to Snellen Acuity. [PDF]
Neuroophthalmology, 2016 In this paper, the authors describe an online tool with which to convert and thus quantify count finger measurements of visual acuity into Snellen equivalents. It is hoped that this tool allows for the re-interpretation of retrospectively collected data that provide visual acuity in terms of qualitative count finger measurements.

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 ...

Finger-Counting-Based Gesture Recognition within Cars Using Impulse Radar with Convolutional Neural Network [PDF]
Sensors, 2019 The diversion of a driver’s attention from driving can be catastrophic. Given that conventional button- and touch-based interfaces may distract the driver, developing novel distraction-free interfaces for the various devices present in cars has ...
