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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...
