When time is space: Evidence for a mental time line

M Bonato, M Zorzi, C Umiltà - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2012 - Elsevier
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 …

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

Verbal-spatial and visuospatial coding of number–space interactions.

W Gevers, S Santens, E Dhooge, Q Chen… - Journal of …, 2010 - psycnet.apa.org

On the genesis of spatial-numerical associations: Evolutionary and cultural factors co-construct the mental number line

EY Toomarian, EM Hubbard - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2018 - Elsevier
Map** numbers onto space is a common cognitive representation that has been explored
in both behavioral and neuroimaging contexts. Empirical work probing the diverse nature of …

How does working memory enable number-induced spatial biases?

E Abrahamse, JP Van Dijck, W Fias - Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 - frontiersin.org
Number-space associations are a robust observation, but their underlying mechanisms
remain debated. Two major accounts have been identified. First, spatial codes may …

Temporal order judgment reveals how number magnitude affects visuospatial attention

M Casarotti, M Michielin, M Zorzi, C Umiltà - Cognition, 2007 - Elsevier
The existence of spatial components in the mental representation of number magnitude has
raised the question regarding the relation between numbers and spatial attention. We …

Eye gaze cannot be ignored (but neither can arrows)

G Galfano, M Dalmaso, D Marzoli… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2012 - journals.sagepub.com
Recent studies have tried to shed light on the automaticity of attentional shifts triggered by
gaze and arrows with mixed results. In the present research, we aimed at testing a strong …

A working memory account of the interaction between numbers and spatial attention

JP Van Dijck, EL Abrahamse, F Acar… - Quarterly Journal of …, 2014 - journals.sagepub.com
Rather than reflecting the long-term memory construct of a mental number line, it has been
proposed that the relation between numbers and space is of a more temporary nature and …

Attentional control and reflexive orienting to gaze and arrow cues

J Ristic, A Wright, A Kingstone - Psychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2007 - Springer
A wealth of data indicate that central spatially nonpredictive eyes and arrows trigger very
similar reflexive spatial orienting, although the effects of eyes may be more strongly reflexive …
