Abstract: Approximate numerical magnitude (or numerosity) is thought to represent one of the fundamental sensory properties driving perceptual choices. Recent studies indicate that numerosity judgment on a dot array is primarily driven by its numerical magnitude,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2017.01.019
Abstract: ABSTRACT It is currently debated whether numbers are processed using a number‐specific system or a general magnitude processing system, also used for non‐numerical magnitudes such as physical size, duration, or luminance. Activation likelihood estimation (ALE)… read more here.

Abstract: Ordinality is a fundamental feature of numbers and recent studies have highlighted the role that number ordering abilities play in mathematical development (e.g., Lyons et al., ), as well as mature mathematical performance (e.g., Lyons &… read more here.

DOI: 10.1145/3139461
Abstract: Because of the high cost of communication between processors, compilers that parallelize loops automatically have been forced to skip a large class of loops that are both critical to performance and rich in latent parallelism.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/1747021820981876
Abstract: Humans possess a numerical intuition that allows them to manipulate large non-symbolic quantities. This ability has been broadly assessed with the help of number comparison tasks involving simultaneously displayed arrays. Many authors pointed out that… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0214270
Abstract: The present study tested whether visuo-spatial vs. verbal executive working memory capacity (hereafter EWM) modulates the degree to which non-numerical visual magnitudes influence numerosity comparison using pairs of dot arrays. We hypothesized that visuo-spatial (rather… read more here.
