Nature and culture of finger counting: Diversity and representational effects of an embodied cognitive tool
A Bender, S Beller - Cognition, 2012 - Elsevier
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 …
