The present topical issue on “multi-digit number processing” has been compiled with a
threefold aim in mind. First, for researchers who are not yet familiar with the topic, it provides …

Recent research has suggested that numeral order processing–the speed and accuracy

beyond our personal experience. The present study explored the processing mechanisms of …

Understanding whether a sequence is presented in an order or not (ie, ordinality) is a robust
predictor of adults' arithmetic performance, but the mechanisms underlying this skill and its …
