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

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 …

It has been asserted that children with mathematics learning difficulties (MLD) constitute a
heterogeneous group. To date, most researchers have investigated differences between …

Even though mathematics is considered one of the most abstract domains of human
cognition, recent work on embodiment of mathematics has shown that we make sense of …

Mathematics is a complex subject including different domains such as arithmetic, arithmetic
problem solving, geometry, algebra, probability, statistics, calculus,... that implies mobilizing …

The finding that number processing activates a cortical network partly overlapping that
recruited for hand movements has renewed interest in the relationship between number and …

Discrete numerosities can be represented by various finger configurations. The impact of
counting strategies on these configurations and their possible semantic status were …

Music psychologists have established that some forms of musical activity improve
intellectual performance, spatial–temporal reasoning and other skills advantageous for …

Transcoding between numerical systems is one of the most basic abilities acquired by
children during their early school years. One important topic that requires further exploration …

Abstract Butterworth (1999; 2005) proposed that several component abilities support our
numerical representations and processes: an innate capacity to represent small …
