Eye tracking is an increasingly popular method in mathematics education. While the
technology has greatly evolved in recent years, there is a debate about the specific benefits …

Learn how the brain processes mathematical concepts and why some students develop
math anxiety! David A. Sousa discusses the cognitive mechanisms for learning mathematics …

Different models have been proposed for the processing of multisymbol numbers like two-
and three-digit numbers but also for negative numbers and decimals. However, these …

The last decade has seen a rapid growth in our understanding of the cognitive systems that
underlie mathematical learning and performance, and an increased recognition of the …

The present topical issue on “multi-digit number processing” has been compiled with a
threefold aim in mind. First, for researchers who are not yet familiar with the topic, it provides …

How do we understand two-digit numbers such as 42? Models of multi-digit number
comprehension differ widely. Some postulate that the decades and units digits are …

Numerical Cognition: The Basics provides an understanding of the neural and cognitive
mechanisms that enable us to perceive, process, and memorize numerical information …

Considering eye-fixation behavior is standard in reading research to investigate underlying
cognitive processes. However, in numerical cognition research eye-tracking is used less …

Recent evidence indicated that fraction pair type determined whether a particular fraction is
processed holistically, componentially or in a hybrid manner. Going beyond previous …

We propose a detailed cognitive model of multi-digit number reading. The model postulates
separate processes for visual analysis of the digit string and for oral production of the verbal …
