In numerical cognition research, it has traditionally been argued that the processing of
symbolic numerals (eg, digits) is identical to the processing of the non-symbolic …

Numerical symbols are thought to be mapped onto preexisting nonsymbolic representations
of number. A growing body of evidence suggests that nonsymbolic numerical processing is …

Converging lines of evidence suggest that the numerical abilities in Humans are rooted in
the approximate number system (ANS): an innate, non-verbal mechanism that enables to …

HIGHLIGHTS We test whether symbolic number comparison is handled by an analog noisy
system. Analog system model has systematic biases in describing symbolic number …

A widely agreed method to assess children's spatial representation of number magnitude
along an assumed mental number line is the so-called number line estimation task. In this …

The Approximate Number System (ANS) allows individuals to assess nonsymbolic
numerical magnitudes (eg, the number of apples on a tree) without counting. Several …

Previous research has shown that null numerosity can be processed as a numerical entity
that is represented together with non-null numerosities on the same magnitude system. The …

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

In this chapter, I provide an overview of what has been learned from cognitive neuroscience
research about the way in which numerical symbols (eg, Arabic numerals) are represented …

Abstract Changes in the sensory properties of numerosity stimuli have a direct effect on the
outcomes of nonsymbolic number tasks. This suggests a prominent role of sensory …
