A Developmental Neuro-Robotics Approach for Boosting the Recognition of Handwritten Digits [PDF]
, 2020 Developmental psychology and neuroimaging research identified a close link between numbers and fingers, which can boost the initial number knowledge in children.

Spatial representations of numbers and letters in children [PDF]
, 2013 Different lines of evidence suggest that children's mental representations of numbers are spatially organized in form of a mental number line. It is, however, still unclear whether a spatial organization is specific for the numerical domain or also ...

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.

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.

The temporary nature of number-space interactions [PDF]
, 2016 It is commonly accepted that the mental representation and processing of numbers and of space are tightly linked. This is evident from studies that have shown relations between math ability and visuospatial skill.

Single-digit and two-digit Arabic numerals address the same semantic number line [PDF]
, 1999 Many theories about human number representation stress the importance of a central semantic representation that includes the magnitude information of small integer numbers, and that is conceived as an abstract, compressed number line.

The co-evolution of number concepts and counting words [PDF]
, 2009 Humans possess a number concept that differs from its predecessors in animal cognition in two crucial respects: (1) it is based on a numerical sequence whose elements are not confined to quantitative contexts, but can indicate cardinal/quantitative as ...

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).

Did language give us numbers? : Symbolic thinking and the emergence of systematic numerical cognition [PDF]
, 2010 What role does language play in the development of numerical cognition? In the present paper I argue that the evolution of symbolic thinking (as a basis for language) laid the grounds for the emergence of a systematic concept of number.
