Embodied finger counting in children with different cultural backgrounds and hand dominance [PDF]

open access: yesPsychology in Russia: State of Art, 2017
Background. Embodied finger counting has been shown to have cross-cultural differences in previous studies (Lindemann, Alipour, & Fisher, 2011; Soto & Lalain, 2008).

The influence of implicit hand-based representations on mental arithmetic

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
Recently, a strong functional relationship between finger counting and number processing has been suggested. It has been argued that bodily experiences such as finger counting may influence the structure of the basic mental representations of numbers ...

Putting a Finger on Numerical Development – Reviewing the Contributions of Kindergarten Finger Gnosis and Fine Motor Skills to Numerical Abilities

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
The well-documented association between fingers and numbers is not only based on the observation that most children use their fingers for counting and initial calculation, but also on extensive behavioral and neuro-functional evidence.

Attention-dependent modulation of neural activity in primary sensorimotor cortex [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Although motor tasks at most times do not require much attention, there are findings that attention can alter neuronal activity not only in higher motor areas but also within the primary sensorimotor cortex.

COUNTING WITH THE FINGERS [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Pure and Apllied Mathematics, 2013
It has been written that across the world there are 27 types of counting method using the fingers. For example, there are various methods for starting to count 'one' using either the index finger, thumb or little finger. In ancient Rome, people counted 'one' by bending their left little finger.

Mathematical difficulties as decoupling of expectation and developmental trajectories [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Recent years have seen an increase in research articles and reviews exploring mathematical difficulties (MD). Many of these articles have set out to explain the etiology of the problems, the possibility of different subtypes, and potential brain regions ...

Design method for an anthropomorphic hand able to gesture and grasp [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
This paper presents a numerical method to conceive and design the kinematic model of an anthropomorphic robotic hand used for gesturing and grasping. In literature, there are few numerical methods for the finger placement of human-inspired robotic hands.

Combinatorial cobordism maps in hat Heegaard Floer theory [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
In a previous paper, Sarkar and the third author gave a combinatorial description of the hat version of Heegaard Floer homology for three-manifolds. Given a cobordism between two connected three-manifolds, there is an induced map between their Heegaard ...
