Architectures for numerical cognition
Cognition, 1994Current theories of numerical cognition differ in assumptions about the componential architecture of number processing and about the extent of notation-specific processes. To investigate these issues, 64 adult subjects were tested on simple addition and multiplication problems presented in Arabic digit or English number-word format.

Numerical cognition in children with cerebral palsy
Research in Developmental Disabilities, 2021Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP) often perform poorly in mathematics. It is not yet clear to what extent mathematics difficulties in this clinical condition are similar to those observed in developmental dyscalculia. To better elucidate this issue, we conducted an exploratory cross-sectional study with a sample of children and adolescents with ...

Culture and Numerical Cognition
2022Abstract The basic ability to encode numerical information and discriminate numerical quantity can be found in humans as well as certain nonhuman primates. However, humans are unique in that they can perform advanced numerical computation using abstract numerical symbols and number words after receiving formal mathematical instruction ...

Radicalizing numerical cognition
Synthese, 2020In recent decades, non-representational approaches to mental phenomena and cognition have been gaining traction in cognitive science and philosophy of mind. In these alternative approach, mental representations either lose their central status or, in its most radical form, are banned completely.

Numerical Cognition during Cognitive Aging
2014AbstractThis chapter provides an overview of age-related changes and stabilities in numerical cognition. For each component (i.e. approximate and exact number system, quantification, and arithmetic) of numerical cognition, we review changes in participants’ performance during normal and pathological aging in a wide variety of tasks (e.g.

Numerical Cognition: The Basics provides an understanding of the neural and cognitive mechanisms that enable us to perceive, process, and memorize numerical information.Starting from basic numerical competencies that humans share with other species, the book explores the mental coding of numbers and their neural representation.

Multiple spatial mappings in numerical cognition.
Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2012A recent cross-cultural comparison (Shaki, Fischer, & Petrusic, 2009) suggested that spatially consistent processing habits for words and numbers are a necessary condition for the spatial representation of numbers (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes; SNARC effect).

Transcranial electrical stimulation and numerical cognition.
Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology / Revue canadienne de psychologie expérimentale, 2016The effects of transcranial electrical stimulation (tES) have been documented for a variety of mental functions, including numerical cognition. This article first reviews 2 prominent forms of tES, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS).

Toward an integrative approach to numerical cognition
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017AbstractIn response to the commentaries, we have refined our suggested model and discussed ways in which the model could be further expanded. In this context, we have elaborated on the role of specific continuous magnitudes. We have also found it important to devote a section to evidence considered the “smoking gun” of the approximate number system ...

Cognitive processes of numerical estimation in children
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2012We tested children in Grades 1 to 5, as well as college students, on a number line estimation task and examined latencies and errors to explore the cognitive processes involved in estimation. The developmental trends in estimation were more consistent with the hypothesized shift from logarithmic to linear representation than with an account based on a ...
