Butterworth (1999; 2005) proposed that several component abilities support our numerical representations and processes: an innate capacity to represent small numerosities (indexed by subitizing), fine motor ability (indexed here by finger tapping), and the ability to mentally represent one’s fingers (indexed by finger gnosia). In the current paper, we evaluated the predictive power of these com...
