Commentary on: “Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans' mental number line”
concepts of “less” and “more,” it would be more efficient to re-use the system already in place for processing space (Holmes and Lourenco, 2011). Considering numerical processing as an exaptation (Gould and Vrba, 1982) of spatial processing could explain the functional link between these two systems. An important caveat to these hypotheses is that one-to-one homologies between avian and mammali...
متن کاملNewborn chicks need no number tricks. Commentary: Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans' mental number line
Citation: Shaki S and Fischer MH (2015) Newborn chicks need no number tricks. Commentary: Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans' mental number line. The study of numerical ordering abilities in chicks recently reported by Rugani et al. (2015) concluded that " similarly to humans, chicks associate smaller numbers with the left space and larger numbers with the right space. "...
متن کاملCalibrating the mental number line.
Human adults are thought to possess two dissociable systems to represent numbers: an approximate quantity system akin to a mental number line, and a verbal system capable of representing numbers exactly. Here, we study the interface between these two systems using an estimation task. Observers were asked to estimate the approximate numerosity of dot arrays. We show that, in the absence of calib...
متن کاملThe mental number line and the human angular gyrus.
To investigate the hemispheric organization of a language-independent spatial representation of number magnitude in the human brain we applied focal repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) to the right or left angular gyrus while subjects performed a number comparison task with numbers between 31 and 99. Repetitive TMS over the angular gyrus disrupted performance of a visuospatial s...
