The cognitive foundations of early arithmetic skills: It is counting and number judgment, but not finger gnosis, that count. [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2016 Following on from ideas developed by Gerstmann, a body of work has suggested that impairments in finger gnosis may be causally related to children's difficulties in learning arithmetic. We report a study with a large sample of typically developing children (N=197) in which we assessed finger gnosis and arithmetic along with a range of other relevant ...
