Acta 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.

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 ...

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 ...

Design and evaluation of a systematic finger-based intervention for early numeracy in 5- to 6-year-olds [PDF]
Scientific ReportsEarly numeracy is a building block for later mathematics achievement in school. Recently, the use of fingers in early numeracy instruction received increasing attention as a prominent example of embodied cognition.

When Digits Help Digits: Spatial–Numerical Associations Point to Finger Counting as Prime Example of Embodied Cognition [PDF]
Frontiers 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 ...

Fingers as a tool for counting - naturally fixed or culturally flexible? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2011 Like number words and written numerals, fingers can be used to represent numbers. In fact, due to their ubiquitous availability, agility, and discrete quantity, they are considered the most natural tool for counting, which renders them attractive for theories of embodied (numerical) cognition (Andres et al., 2008; Di Luca and Pesenti, 2011).

You Can Count on Your Fingers: The Role of Fingers in Early Mathematical Development [PDF]
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2018 Even though mathematics is considered one of the most abstract domains of human cognition, recent work on embodiment of mathematics has shown that we make sense of mathematical concepts by using insights and skills acquired through bodily activity ...

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.
