The last several years have seen steady growth in research on the cognitive and neuronal
mechanisms underlying how numbers are represented as part of ordered sequences. In the …

Two proposals have been put forward to account conjointly for the spatial–numerical
association of response codes (SNARC) effect and the spatial–positional association of …

Number-space associations are a robust observation, but their underlying mechanisms
remain debated. Two major accounts have been identified. First, spatial codes may …

The maintenance of serial order in verbal working memory (WM) is a major unsolved puzzle
in cognitive science. Here we review a series of studies showing that serial order in verbal …

Coding serial order of information is a fundamental ability of our cognitive system, and still,
little is known about its neural substrate. This study examined the neural substrates involved …

The problem of how the mind can retain sequentially organized information has a long
research tradition that remains unresolved. While various computational models propose a …

In a sequence, at least two aspects of information—the identity of items and their serial order—
are maintained and supported by distinct working memory (WM) capacities. Verbal serial …

A wealth of studies show that human adults map ordered information onto a directional
spatial continuum. We asked whether map** ordinal information into a directional space …

Working memory (WM) is one of the most important cognitive functions that may play a role
in the relation between math anxiety (MA) and math performance. The processing efficiency …

Prior research established that newly instructed stimulus-response map**s, which have
never been executed overtly before, can lead to automatic response-congruency effects …
