摘要: Numerical cognition encompasses the concepts of quantity ('how many?') and serial order ('which position?'). Yet, although numbers can convey different meanings, a recent imaging study by Fias coworkers showed that ranking letters in alphabet is subserved cortical network highly similar to involved judging magnitudes. In terms neural processing, rank might just be two sides same coin.
