Domain-General Factors Influencing Numerical and Arithmetic Processing

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2017
This special issue contains 18 articles that address the question how numerical processes interact with domain-general factors. We start the editorial with a discussion of how to define domain-general versus domain-specific factors and then discuss the ...

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 ...

Why do spatial abilities predict mathematical performance? [PDF]

, 2014
Spatial ability predicts performance in mathematics and eventual expertise in science, technology and engineering. Spatial skills have also been shown to rely on neuronal networks partially shared with mathematics.

Learning Linear Spatial-Numeric Associations Improves Accuracy of Memory for Numbers [PDF]

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Memory for numbers improves with age and experience. One potential source of improvement is a logarithmic-to-linear shift in children's representations of magnitude. To test this, Kindergartners and second graders estimated the location of numbers on number lines and recalled numbers presented in vignettes (Study 1).

Mental Number Representations in 2D Space

Frontiers in Psychology, 2019
There is evidence both for mental number representations along a horizontal mental number line with larger numbers to the right of smaller numbers (for Western cultures) and a physically grounded, vertical representation where “more is up.” Few studies ...

Direct numerical simulation of turbulence at lower costs [PDF]

, 1995
Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) is the most accurate, but also the most expensive, way of computing turbulent flow. To cut the costs of DNS we consider a family of second-order, explicit one-leg time-integration methods and look for the method with the

How math anxiety relates to number-space associations

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Given the considerable prevalence of math anxiety, it is important to identify the factors contributing to it in order to improve mathematical learning. Research on math anxiety typically focusses on the effects of more complex arithmetic skills.

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.

When numbers get heavy: is the mental number line exclusively numerical? [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
The mental number line, with its left-to-right orientation of increasing numerical values, is often regarded as evidence for a unique connection between space and number.

On the Development of Space-Number Relations: Linguistic and Cognitive Determinants, Influences, and Associations

, 2020
Space and numbers are closely linked to each other in the human mind and brain. These bidirectional links may be the end product of innate biases and/or developmental, educational, and acculturation processes.
