The development of number processing and its relation to other parietal functions in early childhood
… and occipito-temporal cortex (face and object processing), in order to investigate their contributions to the acquisition of formal arithmetic in the first year of schooling. We tested preschooler, first grader and adult subjects, using correlational cross-sectional and longitudinal approaches. …

Connectivity analysis of brain function in children with foetal alcohol spectrum disorder and control children during number processing
… The effect of prenatal alcohol exposure on number processing in children was investigated in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study (Meintjes et al., 2007). The results indicate significant differences in activation between alcohol-exposed and non-exposed control children …

The morphology of the intraparietal sulcus in children prenatally exposed to alcohol in a sample of children from the Western Cape, South Africa and its potential relationship with number processing
… and is known to play a critical role in number processing. Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD) result from prenatal exposure to alcohol and are particularly prevalent in the Western Cape region of South Africa. Arithmetic is a domain of cognitive function that is particularly …

Parietal dysfunction in children with prenatal alcohol exposure
… brain activation during symbolic and nonsymbolic number processing, and place learning in a virtual environment. These functional domains were investigated using tasks of proximity judgment and exact addition to assess neural correlates of symbolic number processing in 65 children (mean age ± SD = …

Mathematics Experience and Format-specific Effects in Numerical Cognition
… of numerical information influences numerical processing. The format-independent view postulates that information from various formats (e.g. ‘3’ or ‘three’) is represented in a uniform numerical code and that format should thus have no influence on number manipulation. The format-specific view …

MORE THAN FINGER COUNTING: SHARED RESOURCES BETWEEN FINGER TAPPING AND ARITHMETIC
… last two decades showing a relationship between number processing and sensorimotor processes. In addition, considerable evidence has been presented that suggest precursors of arithmetic skills in animals. This shows that arithmetic is not uniquely human and some of the relevant mechanisms may …

Seeking the neural basis of grammar : English noun and verb morphological processing investigated with rapid event-related fMRI and intracortical electrophysiology
… involve separable brain regions, inflectional processing of the two categories may be done by the same process, 6.) Regularly and Irregularly inflected verbs show a double dissociation of activation in frontal and medial regions, 7.) Processing of English noun more than verb morphology may rely …

Bilingualism and cognitive development: a study on the acquisition of number skills
… as it is speaking two languages that is the number field. Bilinguals and monolinguals children were asked to perform three different number tasks: number Stroop, verification and dot counting.Unlike in the study of Bialystok et al. (2004; 2005) who employed a classical Stroop task, no …

A new framework for making sourcing decisions regarding low-volume, high-complexity products
… require complex computer systems - either rapid number processing, as in scientific applications, or massive data processing, as in large database applications. They are mostly custom-configured for each customer, each server specifically assembled, and each system specifically configured to meet …

The Dual-Route Model of Order Judgment: Factors Influencing Task Performance and the Reverse Distance Effect
Numbers play an integral role in everyday life. Research on basic number processing aids in understanding how people make more complex uses of numbers (e.g., mathematics). In this thesis, I explored numerical processing in number comparison and order judgment tasks. In number comparison tasks, …

Componenti spaziali della rappresentazione cognitiva della grandezza del numero
The humans process the numbers in a similar way to animals. There are countless studies in which similar performance between animals and humans (adults and/or children) are reported. Three models have been developed to explain the cognitive mechanisms underlying the number processing. The …
