We review the evidence for the 3 principal theoretical contenders that vie to explain why and
how working memory (WM) capacity is limited. We examine the possibility that capacity …

The literature on spatial associations during number processing is dominated by the SNARC
(spatial–numerical association of response codes) effect. We describe spatial biases found …

An association of numbers and space (SNARC effect) has been examined in an ever
growing literature. In the present quantitative meta-analysis, 46 studies with a total of 106 …

The study of neuronal specialisation in different cognitive and perceptual domains is
important for our understanding of the human brain, its typical and atypical development …

People use space to conceptualize abstract domains like time and number. This tendency
may be a cognitive universal, but the specifics of people's implicit space–time and space …

This study was aimed at examining whether pitch height and pitch change are mentally
represented along spatial axes. A series of experiments explored, for isolated tones and 2 …

Background. Much research has been devoted to understanding cognitive correlates of
elementary mathematics performance, but little such research has been done for advanced …

Multi-digit number processing is ubiquitous in our everyday life–even in school, multi-digit
numbers are computed from the first year onward. Yet, many problems children and adults …

It is known that small and large numbers facilitate left/right respectively (the SNARC effect).
Recently, it has been proposed that numerical magnitude is just one example of a range of …

ABSTRACT A common theme of models of conceptual growth is to establish the hierarchical
structures of abilities that can be interpreted along developmental lines. Integrating the …
