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 …

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 …

Investigations of multi-digit number processing typically focus on two-digit numbers. Here,
we aim to investigate the generality of results from two-digit numbers for four-and six-digit …

Numbers are of enormous significance for modern society. They form the basis of currency
and economic systems, of measurement and calculation, of engineering and the natural …

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 …

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 …

In numerical cognition research, it has traditionally been argued that the processing of
symbolic numerals (eg, digits) is identical to the processing of the non-symbolic …

In early numerical development, children have to become familiar with the Arabic number
system and its place-value structure. The present review summarizes and discusses …

Research into cognitive number processing has made considerable progress over the last
twenty years (Dehaene, 1997; Butterworth, 1999). These advances have been the result of …

Children apply various strategies to mentally solve multi-digit subtraction problems and the
efficient use of some of them may depend more or less on numerical magnitude processing …
