COUNTING WITH THE FINGERS [PDF]

International 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.

The role of fingers in number processing in young children

Frontiers 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

Cross-Cultural and Intra-Cultural Differences in Finger-Counting Habits and Number Magnitude Processing: Embodied Numerosity in Canadian and Chinese University Students

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2016
Recent work in numerical cognition has shown-that number magnitude is not entirely abstract, and at least partly rooted in embodied and situated experiences, including finger-counting. The current study extends previous cross-cultural research to address

Pineal gland arteriovenous malformation with optic neuropathy

TNOA Journal of Ophthalmic Science and Research, 2022
We present the case of pineal gland arteriovenous malformation (AVM) with optic neuropathy in a 29-year-old male who presented to our hospital with diminished vision in both eyes associated with headache, dizziness, and generalized weakness for 3 years ...

Do numbers make us handy? Behavioral and electrophysiological evidence for number-hand congruency effect

Acta Psychologica, 2023
Finger counting facilitates numerical representations and mathematical processing. The current study investigated the association between finger counting habits and number processing by employing behavioral and electrophysiological measures.

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

Psychology 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

Frontiers 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

Frontiers 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.

Counting to Ten with Two Fingers: Compressed Counting with Spiking Neurons

CoRR, 2019
We consider the task of measuring time with probabilistic threshold gates implemented by bio-inspired spiking neurons. In the model of spiking neural networks, network evolves in discrete rounds, where in each round, neurons fire in pulses in response to a sufficiently high membrane potential.
