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 …

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 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 …

Recent evidence has highlighted the important role that number-ordering skills play in
arithmetic abilities, both in children and adults. In the current study, we demonstrated that …

Symbolic magnitude comparison is one of the most well-studied cognitive processes in
research on numerical cognition. However, while the cognitive mechanisms of symbolic …

A small but growing body of evidence suggests a link between individual differences in
processing the order of numerical symbols (eg, deciding whether a set of digits is arranged …

Recent work has demonstrated that how we process the relative order—ordinality—of
numbers may be key to understanding how we represent numbers symbolically, and has …

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 …

Digit comparison is strongly related to individual differences in children's arithmetic ability.
Why this is the case, however, remains unclear to date. Therefore, we investigated the …

Recent research has suggested that numeral order processing–the speed and accuracy
with which individuals can determine whether a set of digits is in numerical order or not–is …
