Ocular drift along the mental number line. [PDF]
Psychol Res, 2016 We examined the spontaneous association between numbers and space by documenting attention deployment and the time course of associated spatial-numerical mapping with and without overt oculomotor responses.

Newborn chicks do need number (magnitude) tricks, exactly like humans. Response to "Newborn chicks need no number tricks. Commentary: Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans’ mental number line" [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 Newborn chicks do need number (magnitude) tricks, exactly like humans. Shaki and Fischer (2015) have argued that our results, according to which newborn chicks associate smaller numbers with the left space and larger numbers with the right space (Rugani ...

Development of the Mental Number Line Representation of Numbers 0–10 and Its Relationship to Mental Arithmetic [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 The internal representation of numbers on the mental number line (MNL) was demonstrated by performing the computerized version of the number-to-position (CNP) task on a touchscreen while restricting response time.

The Developing Mental Number Line: Does Its Directionality Relate to 5- to 7-Year-Old Children’s Mathematical Abilities? [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Spatial representations of number, such as a left-to-right oriented mental number line, are well documented in Western culture. Yet, the functional significance of such a representation remains unclear.

Motion along the mental number line reveals shared representations for numerosity and space [PDF]
eLife, 2016 Perception of number and space are tightly intertwined. It has been proposed that this is due to ‘cortical recycling’, where numerosity processing takes over circuits originally processing space.

The mental number line has a biological basis. A commentary on: Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans' mental number line by Rugani, R., Vallortigara, G., Priftis, K., & Regolin, L. (2015). Science, 347(6221), 534-536. [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 When you think about the numbers one through twenty, what do you see? Most people visualize numbers laid out in space from left to right. In other words, we have a “mental number line” (Restle, 1970; Seron et al., 1992).

No clear evidence for an innate left-to-right mental number line. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2023 (1) seek to clarify the origins of spatial–numerical associa - tions in a study of honeybees. Like studies of other animals and human neonates (2–4), this study shows a robust behav - ioral asymmetry: rightward movement in response to more numerous dot ...

An insect brain organizes numbers on a left-to-right mental number line. [PDF]
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022 Significance The ability to judge numbers exists in various vertebrate species but also in honey bees, thus raising the question of the phylogenetic origins of numerosity systems.
