On the embodied nature of knowledge: From neurons to numbers
Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, Volume 1537, Issue 1, Page 5-12, July 2024.Abstract Interdisciplinary investigations of the human mind through the cognitive sciences have identified a key role of the body in representing knowledge. After characterizing knowledge at grounded, embodied, and situated levels, number knowledge is analyzed from this hierarchical perspective.

Interaction mechanism between location and sequence in letter cognition
Acta Psychologica, 2021 A previous study used days as a sequence symbol to investigate the interaction mechanism between location and sequence in sequence symbol cognition; the study findings suggested that the spatial stimulus-response compatibility effect and the Simon effect

Concrete magnitudes: From numbers to time [PDF]
, 2009 Cohen Kadosh &Walsh (CK&W) present convincing evidence indicating the existence of notation-specific numerical representations in parietal cortex. We suggest that the same conclusions can be drawn for a particular type of numerical representation:

European Journal of Neuroscience, Volume 59, Issue 11, Page 2967-2978, June 2024.Abstract Neuromodulation with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can transiently alter neural activity, but its spatial precision is low. High‐definition (HD) tDCS was introduced to increase spatial precision by placing additional electrodes over the scalp.

Number-induced shifts in spatial attention: A replication study [PDF]
, 2014 In a spatial attention paradigm, Fischer, Castel, Dodd, & Pratt (2003) showed that merely perceiving a number shifted attention according to the magnitude of the number.

The Mechanics of Embodiment: A Dialogue on Embodiment and Computational Modeling [PDF]
, 2011 Embodied theories are increasingly challenging traditional views of cognition by arguing that conceptual representations that constitute our knowledge are grounded in sensory and motor experiences, and processed at this sensorimotor level, rather than ...

Child Development, Volume 95, Issue 3, Page 1032-1039, May/June 2024.Abstract The number line estimation task is frequently used to measure children's numerical magnitude understanding. It is unclear whether the resulting straight, horizontal, left‐to‐right‐oriented estimate patterns indicate task constraints or children's intuitive number–space mapping.

Spatial coding of ordinal information in short- and long-term memory
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 The processing of numerical information induces a spatial response bias: Faster responses to small numbers with the left hand and faster responses to large numbers with the right hand.

Ocular drift along the mental number line. [PDF]
, 2016 We examined the spontaneous association between numbers and space by documenting attention deployment and the time course of associated spatial-numerical mapping with and without overt oculomotor responses.

Developmental Science, Volume 27, Issue 2, March 2024.Abstract Adults shift their attention to the right or to the left along a spatial continuum when solving additions and subtractions, respectively. Studies suggest that these shifts not only support the exact computation of the results but also anticipatively narrow down the range of plausible answers when processing the operands.
