Understanding economical outcomes with the mental number line [PDF]
Nature Precedings, 2011 With this study we provide evidence that the cognitive processes involved in addition/subtraction, mapped along the mental number line, seem to mediate our understanding of trading verbs.

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2016 Humans show a remarkable tendency to describe and think of numbers as being placed on a Mental Number Line (MNL), with smaller numbers located on the left and larger ones on the right.

Young Ants Already Possess a Mental Number Line
International Journal of Biology, 2020 The workers of the ant Myrmica sabuleti were previously shown to have a compressed left to right oriented mental number line. It remained to know if they detain this trait soon after their emergence, or if they have to acquire it in the course of their ...

Sharing a Mental Number Line Across Individuals?:The Role of Body Position and Empathy in Joint Numerical Cognition [PDF]
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2019 A growing body of research shows that the human brain acts differently when performing a task together with another person than when performing the same task alone. In this study, we investigated the influence of a co-actor on numerical cognition using a

Differential roles of brain oscillations in numerical processing: evidence from resting-state EEG and mental number line [PDF]
Frontiers in Human NeuroscienceRecent works point to the importance of emotions in special-numerical associations. There remains a notable gap in understanding the electrophysiological underpinnings of such associations.

Categorizing digits and the mental number line [PDF]
Attention, Perception, & Psychophysics, 2019 Following the classical work of Moyer and Landauer (1967), experimental studies investigating the way in which humans process and compare symbolic numerical information regularly used one of two experimental designs. In selection tasks, two numbers are presented, and the task of the participant is to select (for example) the larger one.
