Humans are remarkably limited in:(i) how many control-dependent tasks they can execute
simultaneously, and (ii) how intensely they can focus on a single task. These limitations are …

The development of sub-disciplines within cognitive neuroscience follows common sense
categories such as language, audition, action, memory, emotion and perception among …

Time and space are tightly linked in the physical word. Recently, several lines of evidence
have suggested that the mental representation of time might be spatial in nature. For …

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 …

Several psychophysical and neuropsychological investigations have suggested that the
mental representation of numbers takes the form of a number line along which magnitude is …

Numerical fractions are commonly used to express ratios and proportions (ie, real numbers),
but little is known about how they are mentally represented and processed by skilled adults …

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 …

A tight correspondence has been postulated between the representations of number and
space. The spatial numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect, which reflects …

Most theoreticians believe that reading habits explain why Western adults associate small
numbers with left space and large numbers with right space (the SNARC effect). We …

In this study, we directly contrast two approaches that have been proposed to explain the
SNARC effect. The traditional direct mapping account suggests that a direct association …
