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.

Neglect impairs explicit processing of the mental number line [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Converging evidence suggests that visuospatial attention plays a pivotal role in numerical processing, especially when the task involves the manipulation of numerical magnitudes.

Unbounding the mental number line – New evidence on children’s spatial representation of numbers [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Number line estimation (i.e., indicating the position of a given number on a physical line) is a standard assessment of children’s spatial representation of number magnitude.

Prenatal light exposure affects number sense and the mental number line in young domestic chicks [PDF]
eLifeHumans order numerosity along a left-to-right mental number line (MNL), traditionally considered culturally rooted. Yet, some species at birth show spatial-numerical associations (SNA), suggesting neural origins.

When numbers get heavy: is the mental number line exclusively numerical? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 The mental number line, with its left-to-right orientation of increasing numerical values, is often regarded as evidence for a unique connection between space and number.

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.

Kicking the mental number line: a kinematic investigation of numerical processing in childhood [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyA growing body of evidence in adults indicates bidirectional interactions between numerical processing and motor execution, often interpreted as the result of sensorimotor experiences linking numerical magnitude to physical size and action parameters ...

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.
