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

Since the time of Pythagoras, numerical and spatial representations have been inextricably
linked. We suggest that the relationship between the two is deeply rooted in the brain's …

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 …

This study compared the spatial representation of numbers in three groups of adults:
Canadians, who read both English words and Arabic numbers from left to right; Palestinians …

Representing magnitude information in various dimensions, including space, quantity, and
time, is an important function of the human brain. Many previous studies reported that …

Mathematicians frequently evoke their “intuition” when they are able to quickly and
automatically solve a problem, with little introspection into their insight. Cognitive …

In recent years, a strong functional relationship between finger counting and number
processing has been suggested. Developmental studies have shown specific effects of the …

Butterworth (1999) suggested that fingers are important in representing numerosities.
Furthermore, scores on a finger gnosis test are a better predictor of numerical performance …

Small-object manipulation is essential in numerous human activities, although its neural
bases are still essentially unknown. Recent functional imaging studies have shown that …
