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

The spatial representation of numerical and non-numerical sequences: Evidence from neglect

M Zorzi, K Priftis, F Meneghello, R Marenzi, C Umiltà - Neuropsychologia, 2006 - Elsevier
Psychophysical and neuropsychological studies have revealed that humans represent
numbers along a continuous, left-to-right oriented mental line. However, it has been recently …

Moving along the mental number line: Interactions between whole-body motion and numerical cognition.

M Hartmann, L Grabherr, FW Mast - Journal of Experimental …, 2012 - psycnet.apa.org
Active head turns to the left and right have recently been shown to influence numerical
cognition by shifting attention along the mental number line. In the present study, we found …

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 …

The spatial representation of numbers: evidence from neglect and pseudoneglect

C Umiltà, K Priftis, M Zorzi - Experimental Brain Research, 2009 - Springer
The aim of the present paper is to provide an overview of the evidence that links spatial
representation with representation of number magnitude. This aim is achieved by reviewing …
