Publisher Summary This chapter reviews recent evidence on number bisection bias in
neglect and on the Spatial Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC) effect …

The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview of the evidence that links spatial
representation with representation of number magnitude. This aim is achieved by reviewing …

The present study investigated the effects of left hemispatial neglect on two tasks activating
the mental number line (MNL). Six patients with left neglect performed a mental number …

Several psychophysical investigations, expanding the classical introspective observations
by Galton, have suggested that the mental representation of numbers takes the form of a …

Based on interactions between number and space apparent from healthy subjects'
randomization attempts we expected random number generation (RNG) to be sensitive for …

Psychophysical and neuropsychological studies have revealed that humans represent
numbers along a continuous, left-to-right oriented mental line. However, it has been recently …

Recently, left spatial neglect phenomena have been reported for the mental representation
of numbers, ie the mental number line (Zorzi et al., 2002; Vuilleumier et al., 2004). The …

Recent cognitive models of numerical abilities have postulated that number processing may
in part rely on a representation of quantities where magnitude is organized by spatial …

It is usually thought that numbers are represented on a “mental number line” on which the
progression of smaller to larger numbers occurs from left to right suggesting a spatial …

Publisher Summary This chapter examines the link between number and the spatial biases
observed in spatial neglect. Right-brain-damaged patients affected by left unilateral neglect …
