Spatial Training Improves Children's Mathematics Ability (2014, background): “…vice versa), suggesting that they represent quantities on a linear number line with their own bodies at the midpoint (i.e., the SNARC effect; Berch, Foley, Hill, & Ryan, 1999; Dehaene et al.; de Hevia & Spelke, 2009; Fias, 2001; Fischer, 2003; Lourenco & Longo, 2009; van Galen & Reitsma, 2008).”
Handbook of mathematical cognition (2004, methodology): “An initial study (Dehaene et al., 1993, Experiment 4) found no reliable associations between letters and space when participants classified letters from the beginning or end of the alphabet as vowels or consonants (see also Fischer, 2003b).”
The hunt for SNARC (2005, background): “Further evidence supporting the notion that the SNARC effect is not the result of a hand-based reference frame results from findings where the SNARC effect was found in a pointing task in which participants pointed with the finger of one hand to a left or right target position (Fischer, 2003a).”
Are Spatial-Numerical Associations a Cornerstone for Arithmetic Learning? The Lack of Genuine Correlations Suggests No (2015, background): “pointing (leftward/rightward movement faster after small/large target number detection; Fischer, 2003a), bipedal (Schwartz & Müller, 2006) and oculomotor responses (Fischer, Warlop, Hill & Fias, 2004).”
A study on the teaching of the concept of negative numbers (2010, background): “Researchers [7,13,14] studied cognitive representation of negative numbers through various standards and classifications.”
On the Cognitive Link between Space and Number: A Meta-Analysis of the SNARC Effect (2008, methodology): “This can explain why in the studies by Fischer (2003a) and Fischer et al. (2004) response amplitude was not sensitive to the SNARC effect.”
