When time is space: Evidence for a mental time line
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 …

Knowledge across reference frames: Cognitive maps and image spaces
In human and non-human animals, conceptual knowledge is partially organized according
to low-dimensional geometries that rely on brain structures and computations involved in …

A working memory account for spatial–numerical associations
Several psychophysical and neuropsychological investigations have suggested that the
mental representation of numbers takes the form of a number line along which magnitude is …

At birth, humans associate “few” with left and “many” with right
Humans use spatial representations to structure abstract concepts [1]. One of the most well-
known examples is the" mental number line"—the propensity to imagine numbers oriented …

Human infants' preference for left-to-right oriented increasing numerical sequences
While associations between number and space, in the form of a spatially oriented numerical
representation, have been extensively reported in human adults, the origins of this …

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

Number processing and heterogeneity of developmental dyscalculia: Subtypes with different cognitive profiles and deficits
K Skagerlund, U Träff - Journal of learning disabilities, 2016 - journals.sagepub.com
This study investigated if developmental dyscalculia (DD) in children with different profiles of
mathematical deficits has the same or different cognitive origins. The defective approximate …

[HTML][HTML] Develo** number–space associations: SNARC effects using a color discrimination task in 5-year-olds
Human adults' numerical representation is spatially oriented; consequently, participants are
faster to respond to small/large numerals with their left/right hand, respectively, when doing …

Spatialization in working memory is related to literacy and reading direction: Culture “literarily” directs our thoughts
The ability to maintain arbitrary sequences of items in the mind contributes to major cognitive
faculties, such as language, reasoning, and episodic memory. Previous research suggests …
