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 …

Where and under what conditions do spatial and numerical skills converge and diverge in
the brain? To address this question, we conducted a meta-analysis of brain regions …

Video game enthusiasts spend many hours at play, and this intense activity has the potential
to alter both brain and behavior. We review studies that investigate the ability of video …

The purpose of the current study was to (i) investigate the malleability of children's spatial
thinking, and (ii) the extent to which training-related gains in spatial thinking generalize to …

Current evidence suggests that numerical, spatial, and executive function (EF) skills each
play critical and independent roles in the learning and performance of mathematics …

Mature representations of number are built on a core system of numerical representation
that connects to spatial representations in the form of a mental number line. The core …

What does it mean to have a visual representation of a mathematical object, concept, or
process? What visualization strategies support growth in mathematical thinking, reasoning …

Most theoreticians believe that reading habits explain why Western adults associate small
numbers with left space and large numbers with right space (the SNARC effect). We …

Mental rotation and number representation have both been studied widely, but although
mental rotation has been linked to higher-level mathematical skills, to date it has not been …

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 …
