Effect of Finger Gnosis on Young Chinese Children’s Addition Skills [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Evidence has revealed an association between finger gnosis and arithmetic skills in young Western children, however, it is unknown whether such an association can be generalized to Chinese children and what mechanism may underlie this relationship.

The Relation between Finger Gnosis and Mathematical Ability: Why Redeployment of Neural Circuits Best Explains the Finding [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 This paper elaborates a novel hypothesis regarding the observed predictive relation between finger gnosis and mathematical ability. In brief, we suggest that these two cognitive phenomena have overlapping neural substrates, as the result of the re-use ...

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

Neural correlates of finger gnosis. [PDF]
J Neurosci, 2014 Neuropsychological studies have described patients with a selective impairment of finger identification in association with posterior parietal lesions. However, evidence of the role of these areas in finger gnosis from studies of the healthy human brain ...

The Differential Relationship Between Finger Gnosis, and Addition and Subtraction: An fMRI Study [PDF]
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2018 The impact of fingers on numerical cognition has received a great deal of attention recently. One sub-set of these studies focus on the relation between finger gnosis (also called finger sense or finger gnosia), the ability to identify and individuate ...

Finger-Based Numerical Training Increases Sensorimotor Activation for Arithmetic in Children—An fNIRS Study [PDF]
Brain 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.

The Benefits of an Interdisciplinary Approach to Mathematics Education on Issues Around Computation in School [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 We present arguments in favor of an interdisciplinary approach in mathematics education. As an instance, we briefly recall how cognitive neuropsychologists promoted intense finger gnosis acquisition, i.e., acquiring the ability to mentally represent one ...

A Finger-Based Numerical Training Failed to Improve Arithmetic Skills in Kindergarten Children Beyond Effects of an Active Non-numerical Control Training [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 It is widely accepted that finger and number representations are associated: many correlations (including longitudinal ones) between finger gnosis/counting and numerical/arithmetical abilities have been reported.

Cognitive Development, 2020 Abstract Fingers have been recurrently associated with number development and mathematical achievement. Specifically finger gnosis have been considered as a potential precursor of numerical learning. However recent findings cast doubt on the existence of a link between finger gnosis and numerical skills.
