Enumeration and Alertness in Developmental Dyscalculia

Journal of Cognition, 2019
Enumeration, the ability to report an amount of elements, differs as a function of range. Subitizing (quantities 1–4) is an accurate and quick process with reaction times (RTs) minimally affected by the number of presented elements within its range.

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 ...

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.

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

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.

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.

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 ...

The Role of “Adult‐Onset” Cancer Predisposition Genes in Pediatric Cancer: A Comprehensive Review

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Current literature estimates that 10% of pediatric cancers are caused by pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) germline variants in cancer predisposition genes (CPGs). Variants in CPGs thought to increase cancer risk exclusively during adulthood are referred to as “adult‐onset” CPGs (aoCPGs).

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).
