Gevers, Wim; Santens, Seppe; Dhooge, Elisah; Chen, Qi; Van den Bossche, Lisa; Fias, Wim; Verguts, Tom – Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2010
A tight correspondence has been postulated between the representations of number and space. The spatial numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect, which reflects the observation that people respond faster with the left-hand side to small numbers and with the right-hand side to large numbers, is regarded as strong evidence for this…
