No fingers, no SNARC? Neither the finger counting starting hand, nor its stability robustly affect the SNARC effect

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2022
The Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect (i.e., faster left/right sided responses to small/large magnitude numbers, respectively) is considered to be strong evidence for the link between numbers and space.

The Evolution of Finger Counting between Kindergarten and Grade 2

open access: yesChildren, 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.

When Digits Help Digits: Spatial–Numerical Associations Point to Finger Counting as Prime Example of Embodied Cognition

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Finger-Counting-Based Gesture Recognition within Cars Using Impulse Radar with Convolutional Neural Network

open access: yesSensors, 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 ...

The Implicit Contribution of Fine Motor Skills to Mathematical Insight in Early Childhood

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
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.

Correcting Finger Counting to Snellen Acuity [PDF]

open access: yesNeuro-Ophthalmology, 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.

Purtscher’s retinopathy: A case of severe bilateral visual loss due to chest compression [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Emergency Medicine, Trauma and Acute Care, 2012
We report a case of bilateral Purtscher’s retinopathy in a young man following a motor vehicle rollover accident. Decreased vision was noticed on the fifth day following the trauma.

Developmental trajectories of strategy use in children with mathematical anxiety

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2021
The main goal of the present study was to explore strategy selection in high mathematical anxiety (MA) individuals, and to test the role of development in the selection of strategy.

The role of fingers in number processing in young children

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
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
