Culture shapes the SNARC-like effect for visual speed. [PDF]
Psychon Bull RevNumerical and non-numerical quantities are often mapped onto horizontal space. Previous research suggests that culture-related habits, such as reading and writing direction, can influence the orientation of this mapping. While cross-cultural differences have been observed in the spatial representation of time, similar effects have not been consistently

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 ...

Episodic retrieval and the SNARC effect [PDF]
Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2017 The SNARC effect is the finding that left-hand responses are faster to small digits and right-hand responses are faster to large digits. I tested an episodic-retrieval account of the SNARC effect in which it is assumed that the response time varies as a function of the prior trial episodes available in working memory.

Spatial-numerical and ordinal positional associations coexist in parallel
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 There is evidence for a systematic association of numbers and space. A prominent finding supporting this notion is the spatial-numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect describing relatively faster responses to smaller numbers using a left ...

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 ...

SNARC-like compatibility effects for physical and phenomenal magnitudes: A study on visual illusions [PDF]
, 2018 Both numerical and non-numerical magnitudes elicit similar Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effects, with small magnitudes associated with left hand responses and large magnitudes associated with right hand responses (Dehaene ...

The SNARC effect in the processing of second-language number words: Further evidence for strong lexico-semantic connections [PDF]
, 2008 We present new evidence that word translation involves semantic mediation. It has been shown that participants react faster to small numbers with their left hand and to large numbers with their right hand.

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.
