The ability to represent approximate numerical magnitudes is often referred to as the approximate number system (ANS) and has regularly been proposed as foundational to mathematics achievement. However, some argue that the relation between ANS acuity... Read More about The approximate number system and mathematics achievement: it's complicated.

In numerical cognition vision has been assumed to play a predominant role in the elaboration of the numerical representations and skills. However, this view has been recently challenged by the discovery that people with early visual deprivation not o... Read More about Superior numerical abilities following early visual deprivation.

Impact of high mathematics education on the number sense. (2012)
Journal Article

In adult number processing two mechanisms are commonly used: approximate estimation of quantity and exact calculation. While the former relies on the approximate number sense (ANS) which we share with animals and preverbal infants, the latter has bee...

Numerical comparison of two-digit numbers: How differences at encoding can involve differences in processing (2011)
Journal Article

The study of two-digit numbers processing has recently gathered a growing interest. Here, we examine whether differences at encoding of two-digit oral verbal numerals induce differences in the type of processing involved. Twenty-four participants wer...

A number of recent studies have demonstrated superior visual processing when the information is distributed across the left and right visual fields than if the information is presented in a single hemifield (the bilateral field advantage). This effec... Read More about Bilateral field advantage in visual enumeration.

Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castronovo, J. Numerical estimation in blind subjects: evidence of the impact of blindness and its following experience

Vision was for a long time considered as essential in the elaboration of the semantic numerical representation (e.g., Simon, 1999). However, early visual deprivation does not prevent the elaboration of a numerical representation with similar spatial...
