Spatial attention and the mental number line: evidence for characteristic biases and compression.
Numbers are often proposed to be represented spatially as lying along a mental number line. The present study examined whether the direction of spatial attention operates similarly in physical and numerical space. Participants bisected physical lines by indicating the perceived center and "bisected" the mental number line by estimating (without calculating) the number midway between two others....
متن کاملNon-spatial neglect for the mental number line.
Several psychophysical investigations, expanding the classical introspective observations by Galton, have suggested that the mental representation of numbers takes the form of a number line along which magnitude is positioned in ascending order according to reading habits, i.e. from left to right in Western cultures. In keeping with the evidence, pathological rightward deviations in the bisecti...
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 کاملExperiential Origins of the Mental Number Line
People map numbers onto horizontal space, forming an implicit mental number line (MNL). The direction of the MNL, which varies across cultures, has often been attributed to the direction of reading and writing words. Yet, this proposal is neither clearly motivated nor well supported by experimental data. Here we tested the hypothesis that fingercounting habits can determine the direction of the...
متن کاملSpatial Attention is Driven by Mental Simulations
the above/ABOVE advantage centers on the argument that the UP location and “yes” response are coded +, whereas the DOWN location and “no” response are coded −. They discuss studies in which a dot is located above or below a square containing the word above or below. When participants decide whether the location of the dot matches the word, they are faster to respond “yes” to an above/ABOVE stim...
