Recent empirical evidence indicates that seemingly abstract numerical cognitions are rooted
in sensory and bodily experiences. In particular in finger counting finger-based …

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 sco** 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 …

Numerical elaboration and the extension of numbers to non-tangible domains such as time
have been linked to cultural complexity in several studies. However, the reasons for this …

When Leibniz demonstrated the advantages of the binary system for computations as early
as 1703, he laid the foundation for computing machines. However, is a binary system also …

Children who encounter questions about quantities or numbers are observed to use their
fingers in different ways to aid their problem solving. This study aimed to contribute to the …

Human cognition is extended and enacted. Drawing the boundaries of cognition to include
the resources and attributes of the body and materiality allows an examination of how these …

Predominant psychological theories of number acquisition posit that children acquire natural
number concepts as they acquire the successor principle, or the knowledge that every …

Evidence from developmental as well as neuroscientific studies suggest that finger counting
activity plays an important role in the acquisition of numerical skills in children. It has been …

A prevailing concept of cognition in psychology is inspired by the computer metaphor. Its
