Interference between number processing and line bisection: a methodology

M Calabria, Y Rossetti - Neuropsychologia, 2005 - Elsevier
It is usually thought that numbers are represented on a “mental number line” on which the
progression of smaller to larger numbers occurs from left to right suggesting a spatial …

Visuospatial priming of the mental number line

I Stoianov, P Kramer, C Umiltà, M Zorzi - Cognition, 2008 - Elsevier
It has been argued that numbers are spatially organized along a “mental number line” that
facilitates left-hand responses to small numbers, and right-hand responses to large …

Counting is a spatial process: Evidence from eye movements

M Hartmann, FW Mast, MH Fischer - Psychological Research, 2016 - Springer
Spatial–numerical associations (small numbers—left/lower space and large numbers—
right/upper space) are regularly found in simple number categorization tasks. These …
