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.

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 ...

Finger Gnosis Predicts Children’s Numeracy, Despite Controlling forVisuo-Spatial Memory [PDF]
, 2016 Finger gnosis, the ability to mentally represent one’s fingers, predicts numeracy in children (Penner-Wilger et al.,2007, 2009) and adults (Penner-Wilger et al., 2014, 2015).

Factor Analysis of the Neurological Evaluation Scale (NES) and Corresponding Brain Function and Structures. [PDF]
Int J Methods Psychiatr ResABSTRACT Objective Neurological soft signs (NSS) are minor, non‐localizable neurological abnormalities. This study aimed to investigate the factor structure of the Neurological Evaluation Scale. Material and Methods A total of 355 subjects (233 patients and 122 general population subjects). NSS were assessed using the NES.

Number-space associations in synaesthesia are not influenced by finger-counting habits [PDF]
, 2014 In many cultures, one of the earliest representations of number to be learned is a finger-counting system. Although most children stop using their fingers to count as they grow more confident with number, traces of this system can still be seen in ...
