Professional mathematicians differ from controls in their spatial-numerical associations
© 2015, The Author(s). While mathematically impaired individuals have been shown to have deficits in all kinds of basic numerical representations, among them spatial-numerical associations, little is known about individuals with exceptionally high math ...

Spatial Associations in Numerical Cognition—From Single Digits to Arithmetic
The literature on spatial associations during number processing is dominated by the SNARC (spatial-numerical association of response codes) effect. We describe spatial biases found for single digits and pairs of numbers, first in the "original" speeded ...

Spatial-numerical associations of manual response codes are strongly asymmetrical
Cognition, 2023The spatial-numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect denotes the observation that humans respond faster and more accurately with a left-side response to smaller numbers and a right-side response to larger numbers, as compared to the opposite mapping.

Spatial–numerical associations from a novel paradigm support the mental number line account
Multiple tasks have been used to demonstrate the relation between numbers and space. The classic interpretation of these directional spatial-numerical associations (d-SNAs) is that they are the product of a mental number line (MNL), in which numerical ...

Spatial numerical associations in preschoolers
Thinking & Reasoning, 2017Three-to-five-year-old French children were asked to add or remove objects to or from linear displays. The hypothesis of a universal tendency to represent increasing number magnitudes from left to right led to predict a majority of manipulations at the right end of the rows, whatever children's hand laterality. Conversely, if numbers are not inherently

A working memory account for spatial–numerical associations
Cognition, 2011Several psychophysical and neuropsychological investigations have suggested that the mental representation of numbers takes the form of a number line along which magnitude is positioned in ascending order according to our reading habits. A longstanding debate is whether this spatial frame is triggered automatically as intrinsic part of the number ...

Effect of egocentric and allocentric reference frames on spatial-numerical associations
Quarterly Journal of Experimental Psychology, 2023From an embodied view of cognition, sensorimotor mechanisms are strongly involved in abstract processing, such as Arabic number meanings. For example, spatial cognition can influence number processing. These spatial-numerical associations (SNAs) have been deeply explored since the seminal SNAs of response code (SNARC) effect (i.e., faster left/right ...

Finger counting habit and spatial–numerical association in children and adults
Consciousness and Cognition, 2016Sensory-motor experiences are known to build up concrete and abstract concepts during the lifespan. The present study aimed to test how finger counting habits (right-hand vs. left-hand starters) could influence the spatial-numerical representation in number-to-position (explicit) and digit-string bisection (implicit) tasks.

Measuring spatial–numerical associations: evidence for a purely conceptual link
Psychological Research, 2015Previous work on spatial-numerical association (SNAs) included either spatially distributed stimuli or responses. This raises the possibility that the inferred spatial nature of number concepts was a methodological artifact. We present results from a novel task that involves two categories (spatially oriented objects and number magnitudes) and ...
