Abstract: Body-based numeration systems represent numbers through the use of body parts and hence are subject to constraints imposed by human anatomy. Body parts are readily available and can be manipulated in three-dimensional space, but are… read more here.

Abstract: Numeration systems are cognitive tools that can be used to assess both discrete and continuous magnitudes (by counting and measuring, respectively). The presence and numerical value of a base in such systems have implications on… read more here.
