Beller, S., and Bender, A.(2011). Explicating numerical information: when and how fingers
support (or hinder) number comprehension and handling. Front. Psychol. 2: 214. doi …

In the literature on numerical cognition, it is generally assumed that fingers play a functional
role in the development of a mature counting system (Gelman and Gallistel, 1978; Fuson et …

We are born with a “number sense”-the ability to respond to numerosity, which we share with
other vertebrates. This inherited numerosity representation is approximate and follows the …

The role of finger usage upon learning arithmetic has received increasing interest from
various disciplines. In this opinion paper, we would like to emphasize that finger usage in …

Numbers are of enormous significance for modern society. They form the basis of currency
and economic systems, of measurement and calculation, of engineering and the natural …

Children typically learn basic numerical and arithmetic principles using finger-based
representations. However, whether or not reliance on finger-based representations is …

Like number words and written numerals, fingers can be used to represent numbers. In fact,
due to their ubiquitous availability, agility, and discrete quantity, they are considered the …

Recent work in numerical cognition has shown-that number magnitude is not entirely
abstract, and at least partly rooted in embodied and situated experiences, including finger …

Representing numerosities with finger configurations offers children the opportunity to learn
and internalize fundamental properties of natural numbers through sensory–motor …

Studies like the one conducted by Domahs et al.(2010, in Cognition) corroborate that finger
counting habits affect how numbers are processed, and legitimize the assumption that this …
