From “sense of number” to “sense of magnitude”: The role of continuous magnitudes in numerical cognition
In this review, we are pitting two theories against each other: the more accepted theory, the
number sense theory, suggesting that a sense of number is innate and non-symbolic …

Sensory-integration system rather than approximate number system underlies numerosity processing: A critical review
It is widely accepted that human and nonhuman species possess a specialized system to
process large approximate numerosities. The theory of an evolutionarily ancient …

Independent adaptation mechanisms for numerosity and size perception provide evidence against a common sense of magnitude
How numerical quantity is processed is a central issue for cognition. On the one hand the
“number sense theory” claims that numerosity is perceived directly, and may represent an …

Perceiving numerosity from birth
Leibovich et al. opened up an important discussion on the nature and origins of numerosity
perception. The authors rightly point out that non-numerical features of stimuli influence this …

Non-symbolic numerosities do not automatically activate spatial–numerical associations: Evidence from the SNARC effect
AA Cleland, K Corsico, K White… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2020 - journals.sagepub.com
The SNARC (spatial–numerical association of response codes) effect is the finding that
people are generally faster to respond to smaller numbers with left-sided responses and …

Anisotropy of perceived numerosity: Evidence for a horizontal–vertical numerosity illusion
A Pecunioso, MEM Petrazzini, C Agrillo - Acta Psychologica, 2020 - Elsevier
Many studies have investigated whether numerical and spatial abilities share similar
cognitive systems. A novel approach to this issue consists of investigating whether the same …

Beyond comparison: The influence of physical size on number estimation is modulated by notation, range and spatial arrangement
T Leibovich, SAR Kadhim, D Ansari - Acta psychologica, 2017 - Elsevier
Can physical size affect number estimation? Previous studies have shown that physical size
influences non-symbolic numerosity in comparison tasks (eg which of two dots is larger) …

Is the ANS linked to mathematics performance?
Leibovich, Katzin, Harel, & Henik argue persuasively that researchers should not assume
ANS tasks harness an innate sense of number. However, some studies have reported a …
