Is there a common neural code underlying the representation of different quantity dimensions? In a high resolution fMRI protocol, we compared the activation evoked by the presentation of lines with different lengths, and sets of different numbers. We contrasted the results obtained with standard univariate analyses with a multivariate approach comparing the representational similarities within and...
The foundation of Mathematics is both a logico-formal issue and an epistemological one. By the first, we mean the explicitation and analysis of formal proof principles, which, largely a posteriori, ground proof on general deduction rules and schemata. By the second, we mean the investigation of the constitutive genesis of concepts and structures, the aim of this paper. This “genealogy of concepts”,...
When we add or subtract, do the corresponding quantities “move” along a mental number line? Does this internal movement lead to spatial biases? A new method was designed to investigate the psychophysics of approximate arithmetic. Addition and subtraction problems were presented either with sets of dots or with Arabic numerals, and subjects selected, from among seven choices, the most plausible result...
