Enhancing arithmetic in pre-schoolers with comparison or number line estimation training: Does it matter? ☆ (2016, background): “This system makes it possible for infants, but also non-human species to discriminate non-symbolic numbers (e.g., Nieder & Dehaene, 2009).”
Origins of task-specific sensory-independent organization in the visual and auditory brain: neuroscience evidence, open questions and clinical implications. (2015, positive): “For instance, we showed that in congenitally blind participants, the visual number form area was recruited in a TSSI-manner after a relatively short SSD training on number identification, and that this recruitment was accompanied by preserved cortical connections between this region and other crucia”
Numerosity, Abstraction, and the Emergence of Symbolic Thinking (2012, background): “The IPS is surely a core structure for the representation of semantic aspects of numerical quantity (Nieder and Dehaene 2009; Nieder, Diester, and Tudusciuc 2006).”
The Cultural Number Line: A Review of Cultural and Linguistic Influences on the Development of Number Processing (2011, background): “, Nisbett, 2003, Rayner, Shen, Bai, & Yan, 2009). Such cultural differences in attentional style might predict differential numerical cognition because numerosity of objects is typically confounded with their spatial extent. But even when visual factors such as extent and configuration are controlle”
Cognitive Imprecision and Small-Stakes Risk Aversion (2018, neutral): “4) has often been assumed in econometric implementations of prospect theory.(59) In this case, the model predicts riskseeking in the case of gains for low values of p, but risk-aversion for larger values of p, and risk-aversion in the case of losses for low values of p, but risk-seeking for larger v”
Dimensions of mind (2010, background): “The two capacities work together but the internalisation of the public numeral system allows us to perform the kind of digital mathematical operations that are required for most arithmetic and mathematical operations ( Nieder and Dehaene 2009, 197).”
An opportunity cost model of subjective effort and task performance (2013, positive): “This also includes tasks used to measure decrements in performance, such as solving anagrams (Schneider et al. 1996), solving mathematical problems (Dehaene et al. 1999; Nieder & Dehaene 2009), or logical reasoning (Goel 2007).”
Neuroeducation – A Critical Overview of An Emerging Field (2012, background): “Notwithstanding, convergent research [25] from work with neuropsychological patients, functional neuroimaging as well as singlecell recordings in awake, behaving primates has identified a set of brain regions that are critical to the representation and processing of numerical magnitude (the total nu”
Variability in the natural number bias: Who, when, how, and why (2015, background): “These magnitude representations are presumably activation functions, with activation being highest for the actual magnitude of the number being represented and decreasing as the distance from that number increases (see, e.g., Dehaene, 2009; Nieder & Dehaene, 2009; Prather, 2012).”
Is 2 + 2 = 4? Meta-analyses of brain areas needed for numbers and calculations (2011, background): “Extant reviews of numerical processes in the neuroimaging literature are based on qualitative reports (Ansari, 2007, 2008; Dowker, 2006; Neumarker, 2000; Nieder and Dehaene, 2009).”
Origins of the brain networks for advanced mathematics in expert mathematicians (2016, background): “Bilateral intraparietal and dorsal prefrontal regions are active during a variety of number-processing and calculation tasks (16) and contain neurons tuned to numerical quantities (17).”
Extending mind, visuospatial integration, and the evolution of the parietal lobes in the human genus (2016, background): “…et al., 1998; Rushworth et al., 2001; Andersen and Buneo, 2002; Wardak et al., 2005; Freedman and Assad, 2006), although recently different kinds of integrative processes have been discussed, such as those associated with numbering (Cantlon et al., 2006; Ansari, 2008; Nieder and Dehaene, 2009).”
Neurocognitive Architectures and the Nonsymbolic Foundations of Fractions Understanding (2016, positive): “…children are equipped with cognitive architectures that support ratio magnitude concepts prior to formal education in the same way that their innate ability to estimate approximate numerosities (sets of countable objects) equips them to learn about whole numbers (e.g., Nieder & Dehaene, 2009).”
