Research on problem solving offers insights into how humans process task-related
information and which strategies they use (Newell and Simon, 1972; Öllinger et al., 2014) …

In three experiments, we explored whether number words are grounded in a nonsymbolic
representation of numerosity. We used a sentence–picture verification task, where …

There is strong evidence for a link between numerical and spatial processing. However,
whether this association is based on a common general magnitude system is far from …

Predictive processing, an increasingly popular paradigm in cognitive sciences, has focused
primarily on giving accounts of perception, motor control and a host of psychological …

Technological advancements give researchers the opportunity to explore the internal metric
that allows to mentally place numbers in a spatial and ordered way to establish relationships …

This study investigated the relationship between numerical and spatial processing and
reading direction, conducting conceptual replications of the Shaki et al.(Psychonomic …

There is a debate about whether abstract semantics could be represented in a motor domain
as concrete language. A contextual association with a motor schema (action or gesture) …

Can you visualize a dog? How about grief? The latter may be more difficult, as grief has no
easily identifiable physical referent in the external world. Such an abstract concept is often …

We conducted two conceptual replications of Experiment 1 in Mathieu, Gourjon, Couderc,
Thevenot, and Prado (2016, https://doi. org/10.1016/j. cognition. 2015.10. 002). They tested …

The close link between number and space is illustrated by the Spatial Numerical Association
of Response Codes (SNARC) effect. The current research focuses on the flexibility of the …
