Comparison enhances size sensitivity: neural correlates of outcome magnitude processing. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Magnitude is a critical feature of outcomes. In the present study, two event-related potential (ERP) experiments were implemented to explore the neural substrates of outcome magnitude processing.

The influence of math anxiety on symbolic and non-symbolic magnitude processing [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Deficits in basic numerical abilities have been investigated repeatedly as potential risk factors of math anxiety. Previous research suggested that also a deficient approximate number system (ANS), which is discussed as being the foundation for later ...

Development of magnitude processing in children with developmental dyscalculia: Space, time and number [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a learning disorder associated with impairments in a preverbal non-symbolic approximate number system (ANS) pertaining to areas in and around the intraparietal sulcus (IPS).

Trajectories of Symbolic and Nonsymbolic Magnitude Processing in the First Year of Formal Schooling. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Sensitivity to numerical magnitudes is thought to provide a foundation for higher-level mathematical skills such as calculation. It is still unclear how symbolic (e.g. Arabic digits) and nonsymbolic (e.g.

Number and Continuous Magnitude Processing Depends on Task Goals and Numerosity Ratio [PDF]
Journal of Cognition, 2018 A large body of evidence shows that when comparing non-symbolic numerosities, performance is influenced by irrelevant continuous magnitudes, such as total surface area, density, etc. In the current work, we ask whether the weights given to numerosity and

Adolescents with Developmental Dyscalculia Do Not Have a Generalized Magnitude Deficit – Processing of Discrete and Continuous Magnitudes [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2017 The link between number and space has been discussed in the literature for some time, resulting in the theory that number, space and time might be part of a generalized magnitude system. To date, several behavioral and neuroimaging findings support the notion of a generalized magnitude system, although contradictory results showing a partial overlap or

Arithmetic mismatch negativity and numerical magnitude processing in number matching [PDF]
BMC Neuroscience, 2011 Background This study examined the relationship of the arithmetic mismatch negativity (AMN) and the semantic evaluation of numerical magnitude. The first question was whether the AMN was sensitive to the incongruity in numerical information per se, or ...

Reevaluating the two-representation model of numerical magnitude processing. [PDF]
Mem Cognit, 2016 One debate in mathematical cognition centers on the single-representation model versus the two-representation model. Using an improved number Stroop paradigm (i.e., systematically manipulating physical size distance), in the present study we tested the predictions of the two models for number magnitude processing.

Exploring the classical and numerical Delboeuf illusion: the impact of transcranial alternating current stimulation on magnitude processing [PDF]
PeerJUnderstanding cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying quantity processing is crucial for unraveling human cognition. The existence of a single magnitude system, encompassing non-symbolic number estimation alongside other magnitudes like time and space,

Age-related effects in magnitude and place-value processing
Scientific ReportsWhile general cognitive skills decline during aging, numerical skills seem to be mainly preserved. Such skills are essential for an independent life up to old age, e.g., when dealing with money or time.
