Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2015 The way the human brain constructs representations of numerical symbols is poorly understood. While increasing evidence from neuroimaging studies has indicated that the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) becomes increasingly specialized for symbolic numerical ...

Animal Cognition, Species Invariantism, and Mathematical Realism [PDF]
, 2019 What can we infer from numerical cognition about mathematical realism? In this paper, I will consider one aspect of numerical cognition that has received little attention in the literature: the remarkable similarities of numerical cognitive capacities ...

Contributions of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to the Study of Numerical Cognition
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2018 Using neuroimaging as a lens through which to understand numerical and mathematical cognition has provided both a different and complementary level of analysis to the broader behavioural literature.

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019 The intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is thought to be an important region for basic number processing (e.g. symbol-quantity associations) and arithmetic (e.g. addition).

Extracting Summary Statistics of Rapid Numerical Sequences
Frontiers in Psychology, 2021 We examine the ability of observers to extract summary statistics (such as the mean and the relative-variance) from rapid numerical sequences of two digit numbers presented at a rate of 4/s.

Are Approximate Number System Representations Numerical?
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023 Previous research suggests that the Approximate Number System (ANS) allows people to approximate the cardinality of a set. This ability to discern numerical quantities may explain how meaning becomes associated with number symbols.

How Memory Counts in Mathematical Development
Journal of Cognition, 2023 Memory has been well-established as a predictor of mathematics achievement in child development. Nevertheless, empirical evidence remains elusive on the unique role of the different forms of memory and their specific mechanisms as predictors of ...

Bilingualism and numerical cognition
Veredas - Revista de Estudos Linguísticos, 2020 The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between bilingualism and numerical cognition, more specifically, the way English-Portuguese bilinguals solve simple mathematical problems when these are presented in different formats (digits, English, and Portuguese) and whether their language history background has any effect on such behavior ...

Cognitive Neuroscience: Numerate Neurons [PDF]
Current Biology, 2003 Whether the neuronal encoding of number is linear or logarithmic divides cognitive neuroscientists working on mathematical cognition. Recordings from the prefrontal cortex of the monkey support the logarithmic hypothesis. Similarities between number and the coding of other quantities are also beginning to become apparent.
