Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans’ mental number line

Science, 2015
Even chicks may count from left to right For the most part, humans represent numbers across a mental number line, with smaller numbers on the left and larger numbers on the right. Some have argued that this is due to culture rather than being innate. Rugani et al.

Bisecting the mental number line in near and far space [PDF]

, 2010
Much evidence suggests that common posterior parietal mechanisms underlie the orientation of attention in physical space and along the mental number line.

Parametric Representation of Tactile Numerosity in Working Memory [PDF]

, 2020
Estimated numerosity perception is processed in an approximate number system (ANS) that resembles the perception of a continuous magnitude. The ANS consists of a right lateralized frontoparietal network comprising the lateral prefrontal cortex (LPFC) and

Negative correlation between leftward bias in line bisection and schizotypal features in healthy subjects.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
IntroductionRecent studies have found a lack of normal pseudoneglect in schizophrenia patients and in their first degree relatives. Similarly, several contributions have reported that measures of schizotypy in the healthy population may be related to ...

Does Number Perception Cause Automatic Shifts of Spatial Attention? A Study of the Att-SNARC Effect in Numbers and Chinese Months

Frontiers in Psychology, 2020
The Attentional Spatial Numerical Association of Response Codes (Att-SNARC) effect has shown that number perception induces shifts in spatial attention (Fischer et al., 2003; Dodd et al., 2008).

Zooming in and out from the mental number line: Evidence for a number range effect [PDF]

, 2013
The representation of numbers is commonly viewed as an ordered continuum of magnitudes, referred to as the mental number line. Previous work has repeatedly shown that number representations evoked by a given task can be easily altered, yielding an ...

The Force of Numbers: Investigating Manual Signatures of Embodied Number Processing

Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021
The study has two objectives: (1) to introduce grip force recording as a new technique for studying embodied numerical processing; and (2) to demonstrate how three competing accounts of numerical magnitude representation can be tested by using this new ...

The temporary nature of number-space interactions [PDF]

, 2016
It is commonly accepted that the mental representation and processing of numbers and of space are tightly linked. This is evident from studies that have shown relations between math ability and visuospatial skill.

Spatial-numerical associations without a motor response? Grip force says ‘Yes’

Acta Psychologica, 2022
In numerical processing, the functional role of Spatial-Numerical Associations (SNAs, such as the association of smaller numbers with left space and larger numbers with right space, the Mental Number Line hypothesis) is debated.
