Symbolic Numerical Magnitude Processing Is as Important to Arithmetic as Phonological Awareness Is to Reading. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 In this article, we tested, using a 1-year longitudinal design, whether symbolic numerical magnitude processing or children's numerical representation of Arabic digits, is as important to arithmetic as phonological awareness is to reading.

The role of short-term memory and visuo-spatial skills in numerical magnitude processing: Evidence from Turner syndrome. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Most studies on magnitude representation have focused on the visual modality with no possibility of disentangling the influence of visuo-spatial skills and short-term memory (STM) abilities on quantification processes.

A study of notation dependence in fraction magnitude processing using event related potentials [PDF]
Scientific ReportsIncreasingly, research emphasizes that learning symbolic fractions (i.e., the quotient or ratio of two whole numbers) is challenging for both children and adults.

Magnitude processing in populations with spina-bifida: The role of visuospatial and working memory processes [PDF]
Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2020 People with Spina Bifida usually experience difficulties with mathematics. In a series of other developmental disorders, a magnitude processing deficit was considered to be the main source of subsequent difficulties in mathematics. The processing of magnitude could be numerical (which is the larger number) or non-numerical such as spatial (e.g., which ...

Presentation of numerical uncertainty modulates duration judgments [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe processing of mental magnitudes like space, time, and numbers is thought to be processed in the same brain region. Therefore, the presence of one magnitude dimension would interfere with the processing of another magnitude dimension.

Impaired parietal magnitude processing in developmental dyscalculia [PDF]
Current Biology, 2007 Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a specific learning disability affecting the acquisition of school-level mathematical abilities in the context of otherwise normal academic achievement, with prevalence estimates in the order of 3-6%. Behavioural studies show deficits in elementary numerical processing among individuals with pure DD, indicating that ...

Numerical Magnitude Affects Accuracy but Not Precision of Temporal Judgments
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 A Theory of Magnitude (ATOM) suggests that space, time, and quantities are processed through a generalized magnitude system. ATOM posits that task-irrelevant magnitudes interfere with the processing of task-relevant magnitudes as all the magnitudes are ...

The Mediating Relation between Symbolic and Nonsymbolic Foundations of Math Competence. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 This study investigated the relation between symbolic and nonsymbolic magnitude processing abilities with 2 standardized measures of math competence (WRAT Arithmetic and KeyMath Numeration) in 150 3rd-grade children (mean age 9.01 years).
