Tracking the Continuous Dynamics of Numerical Processing: A Brief Review and Editorial [PDF]

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2018
Many recent studies in numerical cognition have moved beyond the use of purely chronometric techniques in favor of methods which track the continuous dynamics of numerical processing. Two examples of such techniques include eye tracking and hand tracking

Improving Mathematics Performance in 7-Year-Old Children: Training the Mapping From Estimated Quantities to Arabic Digits

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2022
Exact arithmetic abilities require symbolic numerals, which constitute a precise representation of quantities, such as the Arabic digits. Numerical thinking, however, also engages an intuitive non-linguistic number sense, the Approximate Number System ...

sunflower: an R package for handling multiple response attempts and conducting error analysis in aphasia and related disorders

Frontiers in Psychology
Manual classification of production errors and the allocation of speech/spelling scores are time-consuming, laborious and error-prone tasks, even when conducted by clinicians and specialized researchers.

Perceived Motion and Operational Momentum: How Speed, Distance, and Time Influence Two-Digit Arithmetic

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
Operational momentum was originally defined as a bias toward underestimating outcomes of subtraction and overestimating outcomes of addition. It was suggested that these estimation biases are due to leftward attentional shift along the mental number-line

Inferring uncertainty from interval estimates: Effects of alpha level and numeracy

Judgment and Decision Making, 2013
Interval estimates are commonly used to descriptively communicate the degree of uncertainty in numerical values. Conventionally, low alpha levels (e.g., .05) ensure a high probability of capturing the target value between interval endpoints.

Now you see it, now you don’t - Cognitive skills and their contributions to mathematics across early development

Journal of Cognition, 2023
A broad variety of domain-specific (e.g., non-symbolic magnitude comparison and arithmetic) and domain-general (e.g., spatial skills and inhibition) skills have been identified as precursors to mathematics achievement.

Neural structure mapping in human probabilistic reward learning

eLife, 2019
Humans can learn abstract concepts that describe invariances over relational patterns in data. One such concept, known as magnitude, allows stimuli to be compactly represented on a single dimension (i.e. on a mental line).

Number line estimation and standardized test performance: The left digit effect does not predict SAT math score

Brain and Behavior, 2020
Introduction Recent work reveals a new source of error in number line estimation (NLE), the left digit effect (Lai, Zax, et al., 2018), whereby numerals with different leftmost digits but similar magnitudes (e.g., 399, 401) are placed farther apart on a ...

Magnitude or Multitude – What Counts?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
Recent studies revealed an association of low or high numbers (e.g., 1 vs. 9) and word semantics referring to entities typically found in upper or lower space (e.g., roof vs. root) indicating overlapping spatial representations.

Development of Preschoolers’ Understanding of Zero

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
While knowledge on the development of understanding positive integers is rapidly growing, the development of understanding zero remains not well-understood.
