A series of effects characterises the processing of symbolic numbers (ie, distance effect, size
effect, SNARC effect, size congruency effect). The combination of these effects supports the …

Previous studies have demonstrated existence of a mental line for symbolic numbers (eg,
Arabic digits). For nonsymbolic number systems, however, it remains unresolved whether a …

The representation of numbers is commonly viewed as an ordered continuum of
magnitudes, referred to as the mental number line. Previous work has repeatedly shown that …

The mental number line, with its left-to-right orientation of increasing numerical values, is
often regarded as evidence for a unique connection between space and number. Yet left-to …

Whether two-digit numbers are represented holistically (each digit pair processed as one
number) or compositionally (each digit pair processed separately as a decade digit and a …

People use mental number lines for both symbolic numerals and numerosity, but little is
known about how these two mental number lines are related. The current study investigated …

A cornerstone of contemporary research in numerical cognition is the surprising link found
between numbers and space. In particular, people react faster and more accurately to small …

There is evidence both for mental number representations along a horizontal mental number
line with larger numbers to the right of smaller numbers (for Western cultures) and a …

Research on the mental representation of numbers has focused on a horizontally aligned
mental number line, but more and more findings have begun to implicate a vertical …

Most models of number recognition agree that among other number representations there is
a central semantic magnitude representation which may be conceptualized as a …
