DOI: 10.1007/s00426-020-01380-7
Abstract: A growing body of research suggests that space, time and number are represented within a common system. Other studies have shown this relationship is related to the mathematical competency. Here we examined the influence of… read more here.

Abstract: A series of effects characterises the processing of symbolic numbers (i.e., distance effect, size effect, SNARC effect, size congruency effect). The combination of these effects supports the view that numbers are represented on a compressed… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cedpsych.2018.10.007
Abstract: Abstract Spatial skills are positively related to mathematical abilities, yet the mechanism of such relation remains unclear. This study examined the mediating role of mental number line representation in the relations between spatial skills and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2203584119
Abstract: Significance The ability to judge numbers exists in various vertebrate species but also in honey bees, thus raising the question of the phylogenetic origins of numerosity systems. Here, we studied if bees, like humans, organize… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/desc.12801
Abstract: Humans represent numbers on a mental number line with smaller numbers on the left and larger numbers on the right side. A left-to-right oriented spatial-numerical association, (SNA), has been demonstrated in animals and infants. However,… read more here.
