Number comparison under the Ebbinghaus illusion [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 A series of studies show interest in how visual attributes affect the estimate of object numbers in a scene. In comparison tasks, it is suggested that larger patches are perceived as more numerous.

Comparison of the choice effect and the distance effect in a number-comparison task by FMRI. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Behavioral and neurophysiological studies of numerical comparisons have shown a "distance effect," whereby smaller numerical distances between two digits are associated with longer response times and higher activity in the parietal region.

Symbolic Number Comparison Is Not Processed by the Analog Number System: Different Symbolic and Non-symbolic Numerical Distance and Size Effects [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 HIGHLIGHTSWe test whether symbolic number comparison is handled by an analog noisy system.Analog system model has systematic biases in describing symbolic number comparison.This suggests that symbolic and non-symbolic numbers are processed by different ...

Network topology of symbolic and nonsymbolic number comparison [PDF]
Network Neuroscience, 2020 Studies of brain activity during number processing suggest symbolic and nonsymbolic numerical stimuli (e.g., Arabic digits and dot arrays) engage both shared and distinct neural mechanisms.

Sex differences and functional hemispheric asymmetries during number comparison [PDF]
Biology of Sex Differences, 2018 Background Global-local stimuli are hierarchical structures consisting of a larger global structure which is composed of smaller local stimuli. Numbers are also constructed hierarchically, with multi-digit numbers being made up from single digits. During

Area vs. Density: Influence of visual variables and cardinality knowledge in early number comparison [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2013 Current research in the number development field has focused in individual differences regarding the acuity of children’s Approximate Number System. The most common task to evaluate children’s acuity is through non-symbolic numerical comparison.

Spatial and Verbal Routes to Number Comparison in Young Children [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 The ability to compare the numerical magnitude of symbolic numbers represents a milestone in the development of numerical skills. However, it remains unclear how basic numerical abilities contribute to the understanding of symbolic magnitude and whether ...

Inhibitory control and decimal number comparison in school-aged children. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 School-aged children erroneously think that 1.45 is larger 1.5 because 45 is larger than 5. Using a negative priming paradigm, we investigated whether the ability to compare the magnitude of decimal numbers in the context in which the smallest number has
