A theory of magnitude: common cortical metrics of time, space and quantity

V Walsh - Trends in cognitive sciences, 2003 - cell.com
Research into the perception of space, time and quantity has generated three separate
literatures. That number can be represented spatially is, of course, well accepted and forms …

The relation between space and math: Developmental and educational implications

KS Mix, YL Cheng - Advances in child development and behavior, 2012 - Elsevier
There is a well-known relation between spatial ability and mathematics dating back to the
work of early twentieth century factor analysts. This connection is a ripe opportunity for …

Spatial training improves children's mathematics ability

YL Cheng, KS Mix - Journal of cognition and development, 2014 - Taylor & Francis
We tested whether mental rotation training improved math performance in 6-to 8-year-olds.
Children were pretested on a range of number and math skills. Then one group received a …

Interactions between number and space in parietal cortex

EM Hubbard, M Piazza, P Pinel… - Nature reviews …, 2005 - nature.com
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 …

Polarity correspondence: A general principle for performance of speeded binary classification tasks.

RW Proctor, YS Cho - Psychological bulletin, 2006 - psycnet.apa.org
Differences in performance with various stimulus-response map**s are among the most
prevalent findings for binary choice reaction tasks. The authors show that perceptual or …

[PDF][PDF] On the cognitive link between space and number: A meta-analysis of the SNARC effect

G Wood, K Willmes, HC Nuerk… - Psychology science …, 2008 - academia.edu
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 …

Spatial associations in numerical cognition—From single digits to arithmetic

MH Fischer, S Shaki - Quarterly journal of experimental …, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
The literature on spatial associations during number processing is dominated by the SNARC
(spatial–numerical association of response codes) effect. We describe spatial biases found …

Spatial representation of numbers

W Fias, MH Fischer - The handbook of mathematical cognition, 2005 - taylorfrancis.com
Intuitively, we think of number processing as an abstract and nonspatial cognitive activity.
Apart from those skills necessary for mental symbol manipulation, no spatial processing …

Horizontal spatial representations of time: Evidence for the STEARC effect

M Ishihara, PE Keller, Y Rossetti, W Prinz - Cortex, 2008 - Elsevier
It is well known that stimuli such as numerals (small vs large) and auditory pitches (low vs
high) have spatial characteristics, and that responses to such stimuli are biased by the …

A hierarchical view of grounded, embodied, and situated numerical cognition

MH Fischer - Cognitive processing, 2012 - Springer
There is much recent interest in the idea that we represent our knowledge together with the
sensory and motor features that were activated during its acquisition. This paper reviews the …
