Moving attention along the mental number-line in preschool age: Study of the operational momentum in 3- to 5-year old children's non-symbolic arithmetic.

Developmental Science, 2020
People tend to underestimate subtraction and overestimate addition outcomes and to associate subtraction with the left side and addition with the right side.

Extending the Mental Number Line

Zeitschrift für Psychologie, 2011
Multi-digit number processing is ubiquitous in our everyday life – even in school, multi-digit numbers are computed from the first year onward. Yet, many problems children and adults have are about the relation of different digits (for instance with fractions, decimals, or carry effects in multi-digit addition).

Spatial Cues Affect Mental Number Line Bisections

Experimental Psychology, 2010
Numerical magnitude is coded left-to-right along a mental number line (MNL). The MNL can be distorted by an attentional bias directed to the left side, known as pseudoneglect – making the left of the MNL appear longer. We investigated whether this distortion can be corrected using spatial cues.

Random walks on the mental number line

Experimental Brain Research, 2013
The direction of influence between conceptual and motor activation, and its relevance for real-life activities, is still unclear. Here, we use the frequently reported association between small/large numbers and left/right space to investigate this issue during walking.

Visuospatial priming of the mental number line

Cognition, 2008
It has been argued that numbers are spatially organized along a "mental number line" that facilitates left-hand responses to small numbers, and right-hand responses to large numbers. We hypothesized that whenever the representations of visual and numerical space are concurrently activated, interactions can occur between them, before response selection.

Does mental number line training work? The effects of cognitive training on real-life mathematics, numeracy, and decision making.

Journal of experimental psychology. Applied, 2019
We developed and validated intervention aimed at enhancing numeracy (the ability to understand and use the concept of probability and statistical information) and decision making. One hundred and twenty-two participants were randomly assigned to a Mental

Pseudoneglect for the Bisection of Mental Number Lines

Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2009
Patients with unilateral neglect of the left side bisect physical lines to the right whereas individuals with an intact brain bisect lines slightly to the left (pseudoneglect). Similarly, for mental number lines, which are arranged in a left-to-right ascending sequence, neglect patients bisect to the right.

resting-state EEG and mental number line

2023
There remains a notable gap in understanding the electrophysiological underpinnings of special-numerical associations. Exploring resting-state (rs) EEG, particularly in frontal regions, could elucidate emotional aspects, while other EEG measures might offer insights into the cognitive dimensions correlating with behavioral performance. The present work

The mental number line modulates visual cortical excitability

Neuroscience Letters, 2009
The mental number line has been shown to exert an influence on the visuo-spatial allocation of attention, with presentation of numbers from the low and high ends of the mental number line inducing covert shifts of spatial attention to the left and right side of visual space, respectively.

Extending the Mental Number Line—How Do Negative Numbers Contribute?

Perception, 2012
Previous studies suggest that there is an association between positive numbers and space; however, there is less agreement for negative numbers. The main purpose of the present study was to investigate the nature of the processing and representation of negative numbers, and the association between negative numbers and space.
