Does the mind care about whether a word is abstract or concrete? Why concreteness is probably not a natural kind

open access: yesMind &Language, Volume 39, Issue 5, Page 627-646, November 2024.
Many psychologists currently assume that there is a psychologically real distinction to be made between concepts that are abstract and concepts that are concrete. It is for example largely agreed that concepts and words are more easily processed if they are concrete. Moreover, it is assumed that this is because these words and concepts are concrete. It

Development of number-space associations: SNARC effects and spatial attention in 7- to 11-year-olds.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
The spatial numerical association of response codes effect, referred to as the SNARC effect, reveals that small numbers elicit faster left than right responses, and conversely, large numbers elicit faster right responses.

Extra-powerful on the visuo-perceptual space, but variable on the number space: Different effects of optokinetic stimulation in neglect patients [PDF]

open access: yes, 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

Synergetic efficiency of eco‐friendly inoculants on yield and yield parameters of Abyssinian field pea (Pisum sativum var. abyssinicum)

open access: yesAgrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 7, Issue 3, September 2024.
Abstract Many research findings stated that field pea was phenotypically diverse and symbiotically effective. However, limited studies were conducted on field pea (Pisum sativum var. abysinicum) regarding biological nitrogen fixation with local varieties and races.

Cognitive Mechanisms Underlying Directional and Non-directional Spatial-Numerical Associations across the Lifespan

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2017
There is accumulating evidence suggesting an association of numbers with physical space. However, the origin of such spatial-numerical associations (SNAs) is still debated.

Does Number Perception Cause Automatic Shifts of Spatial Attention? A Study of the Att-SNARC Effect in Numbers and Chinese Months

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
The Attentional Spatial Numerical Association of Response Codes (Att-SNARC) effect has shown that number perception induces shifts in spatial attention (Fischer et al., 2003; Dodd et al., 2008).

Zooming in and out from the mental number line: Evidence for a number range effect [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The representation of numbers is commonly viewed as an ordered continuum of magnitudes, referred to as the mental number line. Previous work has repeatedly shown that number representations evoked by a given task can be easily altered, yielding an ...

Exploring Early Number Abilities With Multimodal Transformers

open access: yesCognitive Science, Volume 48, Issue 9, September 2024.
Abstract Early number skills represent critical milestones in children's cognitive development and are shaped over years of interacting with quantities and numerals in various contexts. Several connectionist computational models have attempted to emulate how certain number concepts may be learned, represented, and processed in the brain. However, these

Numerical representation in the parietal lobes: Abstract or not abstract? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
The study of neuronal specialisation in different cognitive and perceptual domains is important for our understanding of the human brain, its typical and atypical development, and the evolutionary precursors of cognition. Central to this understanding is
