Finger counting and numerical cognition [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Finger counting: The missing tool?

open access: yesBehavioral and Brain Sciences, 2008
peer reviewedRips et al. claim that the principles underlying the structure of natural numbers cannot be inferred from interactions with the physical world. However, they failed to consider an important source of interaction: finger counting.

Design and evaluation of a systematic finger-based intervention for early numeracy in 5- to 6-year-olds [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports
Early 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.

Finger-Based Numerical Training Increases Sensorimotor Activation for Arithmetic in Children—An fNIRS Study

open access: yesBrain Sciences, 2022
Most children use their fingers when learning to count and calculate. These sensorimotor experiences were argued to underlie reported behavioral associations of finger gnosis and counting with mathematical skills.

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

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 ...

ALGORITHM FOR MULTI-HAND FINGER COUNTING: AN EASY APPROACH

open access: yesCoRR, 2018
In this paper we propose an easy algorithm for real time hand finger counting involving one or more than one hand. Hand finger counting is a simple medium for Human-Computer Interface which can prove to be a convenient input method for driving ...

Correcting Finger Counting to Snellen Acuity. [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroophthalmology, 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.
