Semantic knowledge is based on the way we perceive and interact with the world. However,
the jury is still out on the question: to what degree are neuronal systems that subserve …

Although the role played by finger use in children's numerical development has been widely
investigated, their benefit in arithmetical contexts is still debated today. This scoping review …

Studies like the one conducted by Domahs et al.(2010, in Cognition) corroborate that finger
counting habits affect how numbers are processed, and legitimize the assumption that this …

Facets of fine motor skills (FMS) and finger gnosia have been reported to predict young
children's numerical competencies, possibly by affecting early finger counting experiences …

The history of mathematics provides several examples of the use of fingers to count or
calculate. These observations converge with developmental data showing that fingers play a …

In this study, we investigate in children the neural underpinnings of finger representation
and finger movement involved in single-digit arithmetic problems. Evidence suggests that …

“Beilock reveals one intriguing secret after another... That Beilock is supercharged with
enthusiasm about her topic is evident and infectious”(Booklist, starred review). The human …

In this paper we tentatively propose that one of the feral cognitive bases for modern symbolic
thinking may be numerosity, that is, the ability to appreciate and understand numbers. We …

Interactions between fingers and numbers have been reported in the existing literature on
numerical cognition. The aim of the present research was to test whether hand interference …

The direction of influence between conceptual and motor activation, and its relevance for
real-life activities, is still unclear. Here, we use the frequently reported association between …
