Chinese Preschoolers’ Mental Number Line and Mental Number Distance: Valid Characteristics Using Dirichlet Process Gaussian Mixture Model

Early Education and Development, 2019
Research Findings: In this research, 487 Chinese children age 3 to 5 years took part in a number line estimation task. This task was used to assess children’s estimation accuracy and their estimation patterns along a number line in two different ...

Cultural Effects on the Mental Number Line

Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology, 2011
This special issue is the result of a workshop on the cultural effects on the mental number line held in York (U.K.) in July 2009. The workshop was funded by the Experimental Psychology Society (www.eps.ac.uk) and the European Society for Cognitive Psychology (www.escop.eu), and we thank both organisations for sponsoring the event.

The Number Line And Mental Arithmetic

The Arithmetic Teacher, 1990
Some students have easily recognized difficulties with addition and subtraction. Some have no trouble adding or subtracting single-digit numbers when the sums are less than ten (7 + 2, 5 + 4, etc.) but have to resort to their fingers for sums greater than ten (7 + 5, 8 + 6, etc.).

The mental number line: exact and approximate

Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2004
Reviewing behavioral and neural data in children, humans and animals, Feigenson et al.[1] distinguish two core systems for number representation. One system represents number in an exact way but has a fixed upper limit; the other system has no size limit but represents number only approximately.

The relationship between mental rotation and arithmetic: do number line estimation, working memory, or place-value concept matter?

British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2020
Mental rotation is positively related to arithmetic ability; however, the mechanism underlying this relationship remains unclear. The possible roles of working memory, place-value concept, and number line estimation in the correlation between mental ...

Dissociation between visual line bisection and mental number line bisection in schizophrenia

Neuroscience Letters, 2011
Many studies of hemispatial neglect patients have indicated that spatial attention processes operate similarly in visual space and number space. However, some studies have indicated a dissociation of processing between visual line bisection and mental number bisection.

Dissociation between line bisection and mental-number-line bisection in healthy adults

Neuropsychologia, 2015
Healthy adults bisect visual horizontal lines slightly to the left of their true center. This bias has been termed "pseudoneglect" and is considered to reflect right hemisphere dominance in the orienting of spatial attention. A previous investigation reported a positive correlation between pseudoneglect and a corresponding negative bias towards numbers

The Mental Number Line in Depth Revealed by Vection

Perception, 2011
To explore how numbers are represented in depth in our mental space, we asked participants to sequentially speak random numbers while they observed forward/backward vection. We found that participants tended to generate larger numbers when they perceived backward self-motion.

Mental Numerosity Line in the Human’s Approximate Number System

Experimental Psychology, 2016
Abstract. Previous studies have demonstrated existence of a mental line for symbolic numbers (e.g., Arabic digits). For nonsymbolic number systems, however, it remains unresolved whether a spontaneous spatial layout of numerosity exists. The current experiment investigated whether SNARC-like (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes) effects ...

Children’s early mental number line: Logarithmic or decomposed linear?

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2009
Recently, the nature of children's mental number line has received much investigation. In the number line task, children are required to mark a presented number on a physical number line with fixed endpoints. Typically, it was observed that the estimations of younger/inexperienced children were accounted for best by a logarithmic function, whereas ...
