Origins of mathematical intuitions: The case of arithmetic
S Dehaene - Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
Mathematicians frequently evoke their “intuition” when they are able to quickly and
automatically solve a problem, with little introspection into their insight. Cognitive …

Embodied numerosity: implicit hand-based representations influence symbolic number processing across cultures
In recent years, a strong functional relationship between finger counting and number
processing has been suggested. Developmental studies have shown specific effects of the …

The cultural number line: A review of cultural and linguistic influences on the development of number processing
Approximate processing of numerosities is a universal and preverbal skill, while exact
number processing above 4 involves the use of culturally acquired number words and …

Does finger training increase young children's numerical performance?
M Gracia-Bafalluy, MP Noël - cortex, 2008 - Elsevier
Butterworth (1999) suggested that fingers are important in representing numerosities.
Furthermore, scores on a finger gnosis test are a better predictor of numerical performance …

Finger counting habits modulate spatial-numerical associations
MH Fischer - cortex, 2008 - Elsevier
This study explored the contribution of finger counting habits to the association of numbers
with space (the SNARC effect). First, a questionnaire study indicated that two-thirds of 445 …

Mind the gap between both hands: Evidence for internal finger-based number representations in children's mental calculation
At a certain stage of development, virtually all children use some kind of external finger-
based number representation. However, only little is known about how internal traces of this …

Actions, words, and numbers: a motor contribution to semantic processing?
Recent findings in neuroscience challenge the view that the motor system is exclusively
dedicated to the control of actions, and it has been suggested that it may contribute critically …
