Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 In the past few years, many studies have suggested that subjects with high sensory precision in the processing of non-symbolic numerical quantities (approximate number system; ANS) also have higher math abilities.

Why it is important to build robots capable of doing science [PDF]
, 2002 Science, like any other cognitive activity, is grounded in the sensorimotor interaction of our bodies with the environment. Human embodiment thus constrains the class of scientific concepts and theories which are accessible to us.

Coordinating visualizations of polysemous action: Values added for grounding proportion [PDF]
, 2013 We contribute to research on visualization as an epistemic learning tool by inquiring into the didactical potential of having students visualize one phenomenon in accord with two different partial meanings of the same concept.

Linear Spatial–Numeric Associations Aid Memory for Single Numbers
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 Memory for numbers improves with age. One source of this improvement may be learning linear spatial–numeric associations, but previous evidence for this hypothesis likely confounded memory span with quality of numerical magnitude representations and ...

Spatial-Numerical Associations Enhance the Short-Term Memorization of Digit Locations
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 Little is known about how spatial-numerical associations (SNAs) affect the way individuals process their environment, especially in terms of learning and memory. In this study, we investigated the potential effects of SNAs in a digit memory task in order

The material origin of numbers: Insights from the archaeology of the Ancient Near East [PDF]
, 2019 What are numbers, and where do they come from? A novel answer to these timeless questions is proposed by cognitive archaeologist Karenleigh A. Overmann, based on her groundbreaking study of material devices used for counting in the Ancient Near East ...

Extra-powerful on the visuo-perceptual space, but variable on the number space: Different effects of optokinetic stimulation in neglect patients [PDF]
, 2015 We studied the effects of optokinetic stimulation (OKS; leftward, rightward, control) on the visuo-perceptual and number space, in the same sample, during line bisection and mental number interval bisection tasks. To this end, we tested six patients with

, 2019 I argue that the human mind includes an innate domain-specific system for representing precise small numerical quantities. This theory contrasts with object-tracking theories and with domain-general theories that only make use of mental models.

Numerosity comparison, cognitive strategies, and general cognitive functioning in older people
Frontiers in PsychologyIntroductionStudies have shown age-related differences in numerical cognition, for example, in the level of numerosity comparison ability. Moreover, some studies point out individual differences in the cognitive strategies employed during the performance

How does working memory enable number-induced spatial biases? [PDF]
, 2016 Number-space associations are a robust observation, but their underlying mechanisms remain debated. Two major accounts have been identified. First, spatial codes may constitute an intrinsic part of number representations stored in the brain – a ...
