Ordinal Processing of Numerical and Non-numerical Information

摘要: Numerical knowledge requires representations of both quantities and ordinal relationships. Furthermore, the basic ability to judge learn ordinality a sequence might be innately available humans animals. However, numerical processing has received much less research interest then quantity processing. In this chapter, we review literature on processing, including different definitions ordinality, development unique effects related task (e.g., distance effect spatial association response codes (SNARC)). Additionally, discuss cognitive neurofunctional similarities differences in (ordinality quantity) non-numerical sequences. It is argued here that current studies are sometimes controversial not directly comparable because variance task, stimuli instructions used, but mainly definitions. We conclude by describing theoretical model neuro-cognitive which required process information suggest as an additional core system. The can contribute framework for new scientific field
