A growing body of research has shown that symbolic number processing relates to
individual differences in mathematics. However, it remains unclear which mechanisms of …

What is the nature of the relationship between different lower‐level numerical skills and their
role in developing arithmetic skills? We consider the hypothesis of a reciprocal relationship …

Symbolic number–or digit–comparison has been a central tool in the domain of numerical
cognition for decades. More recently, individual differences in performance on this task have …

By analyzing longitudinal data from the start to the end of primary education, we aimed to
investigate whether symbolic numerical magnitude processing at the start of primary …

Against the background of neuroimaging studies on how the brain processes numbers,
there is now converging evidence that numerical magnitude representations are crucial for …

This study investigated whether numerical processing was important for two types of
mathematical competence: arithmetical computation and mathematical reasoning …

Numerical processing has been extensively studied by examining the performance on basic
number processing tasks, such as number priming, number comparison, and number line …

What predicts human mathematical competence? While detailed models of number
representation in the brain have been developed, it remains to be seen exactly how basic …

Symbolic numerical magnitude processing skills are assumed to be fundamental to
arithmetic learning. It is, however, still an open question whether better arithmetic skills are …

In the field of numerical cognition, ordinality, or the sequence of numerals, has received
much less attention than cardinality, or the number of items in a set. Therefore it is unclear …
