Numbers in the eye of the beholder: What do eye movements reveal about numerical cognition?

M Hartmann - Cognitive Processing, 2015 - Springer
The eyes, often called the window to our minds, reveal the focus of spatial attention and are
therefore a powerful research tool for the study of spatial processing and spatially related …

Deconstructing spatial-numerical associations

S Shaki, MH Fischer - Cognition, 2018 - Elsevier
Spatial-numerical associations (SNAs) have been studied extensively in the past two
decades, always requiring either explicit magnitude processing or explicit spatial-directional …

Preschool children use space, rather than counting, to infer the numerical magnitude of digits: Evidence for a spatial mapping principle

F Sella, I Berteletti, D Lucangeli, M Zorzi - Cognition, 2017 - Elsevier
A milestone in numerical development is the acquisition of counting principles which allow
children to exactly determine the numerosity of a given set. Moreover, a canonical left-to …

Measuring spatial–numerical associations: Evidence for a purely conceptual link

MH Fischer, S Shaki - Psychological Research, 2016 - Springer
Previous work on spatial–numerical association (SNAs) included either spatially distributed
stimuli or responses. This raises the possibility that the inferred spatial nature of number …

Time course of overt attentional shifts in mental arithmetic: Evidence from gaze metrics

N Masson, C Letesson… - Quarterly journal of …, 2018 - journals.sagepub.com
Processing numbers induces shifts of spatial attention in probe detection tasks, with small
numbers orienting attention to the left and large numbers to the right side of space. This has …

The perception of subset quantity and items in an environment with distractors in a population with mathematical learning difficulties

S Levy, L Goldfarb - Trends in Neuroscience and Education, 2021 - Elsevier
Objective People often perceive a quantity of specific objects that appear as part of an
overall group of items (a subset). This study investigates this type of perception among a …

Hemispatial neglect shows that “before” is “left”

M Bonato, A Saj, P Vuilleumier - Neural plasticity, 2016 - Wiley Online Library
Recent research has led to the hypothesis that events which unfold in time might be spatially
represented in a left‐to‐right fashion, resembling writing direction. Here we studied fourteen …

Interference of lateralized distractors on arithmetic problem solving: A functional role for attention shifts in mental calculation

N Masson, M Pesenti - Psychological Research, 2016 - Springer
Solving arithmetic problems has been shown to induce shifts of spatial attention in simple
probe-detection tasks, subtractions orienting attention to the left side and additions to the …

Voluntary eye movements direct attention on the mental number space

M Ranzini, M Lisi, M Zorzi - Psychological research, 2016 - Springer
Growing evidence suggests that orienting visual attention in space can influence the
processing of numerical magnitude, with leftward orienting speeding up the processing of …

Distance in depth: A comparison of explicit and implicit numerical distances in the horizontal and radial dimensions.

A Felisatti, M Ranzini, S Shaki… - Journal of Experimental …, 2024 - psycnet.apa.org
Numbers are a constant presence in our daily lives: A brain devoid of the ability to process
numbers would not be functional in its external environment. Comparing numerical …
