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.

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.

One direction? Cultural aspects of the mental number line beyond reading direction. [PDF]

Psychol Res
Spatial-Numerical Associations (SNAs) refer to the demonstrations of spatial processing of numbers. The Mental Number Line (MNL) is a representation model describing numbers as aligning left-to-right (LR) and was suggested to account for directional ...

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]

eLife
Humans 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.

Spatial representations of numbers and letters in children [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
Different lines of evidence suggest that children’s mental representations of numbers are spatially organized in form of a mental number line. It is, however, still unclear whether a spatial organization is specific for the numerical domain or also ...

A mental number line in human newborns [PDF]

Developmental Science, 2017
In the 19th century Francis Galton first reported that humans represent numbers on a mental number line with smaller numbers on the left and larger numbers on the right.

Counting on the mental number line to make a move: sensorimotor ('pen') control and numerical processing. [PDF]

Exp Brain Res, 2017
Mathematics is often conducted with a writing implement. But is there a relationship between numerical processing and sensorimotor ‘pen’ control? We asked participants to move a stylus so it crossed an unmarked line at a location specified by a symbolic ...

Number-Induced Shifts in Spatial Attention: A Replication Study [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2014
In a spatial attention paradigm, Fischer, Castel, Dodd, & Pratt (2003) showed that merely perceiving a number shifted attention according to the magnitude of the number.
