Various behavioural paradigms indicate that numbers are represented along a left-to-right oriented 'mental number line'. In the spatial–numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect, small ...
Everybody has one--even rats and pigeons, to say nothing of people. The ability to grasp small numbers and map them onto a number line in the brain is an evolutionary birthright of ours. Arithmetic, ...
Lateralization of the brain—the tendency for the left and right hemispheres to specialize in different functions—underlies the development of a left-to-right mental number line, according to a study ...
Although few of us think of numbers in spatial terms 5, psychophysical evidence suggests that the mental representation of numbers has a spatial nature, possibly with a left–right orientation 6. First ...

The origin of the mental number line may be biological, not cultural, according to a new study
A new study has found that a chick’s ability to mentally organize numbers along a line from left to right is not learned but is instead a direct result of brain specialization that occurs before ...
