Journal ArticleDOI
Sensori-motor spatial training of number magnitude representation
TL;DR: A new spatial-numerical training program for kindergarten children was developed in which presentation and response were associated with a congruent spatial numerical representation and children responded by a full-body spatial movement on a digital dance mat in a magnitude comparison task.
Journal ArticleDOI
Walk the number line – An embodied training of numerical concepts
TL;DR: In this article, an embodied intervention program was developed addressing the spatial representation of number magnitude, where first-graders were trained to indicate the position of a given number by walking to the estimated location of that number on a number line on the floor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Learning and development of embodied numerosity.
Korbinian Moeller,Ursula Fischer,Tanja Link,Mirjam Wasner,Stefan Huber,Ulrike Cress,Hans-Christoph Nuerk +6 more
TL;DR: It is concluded that embodied representations of number (magnitude) exist, are not limited to finger-based representations, and influence number processing in a systematic and functional way that can be used to foster the efficiency of numerical trainings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Computers in mathematics education - Training the mental number line
TL;DR: The issues of multi-player learning environments and embodied interactions as new opportunities for training the mental number line are focused on and the latest developments in computer technology open up new directions for the training of themental number line in particular and numerical/arithmetical competencies in general.
Journal ArticleDOI
How to rapidly construct a spatial-numerical representation in preliterate children (at least temporarily).
Katarzyna Patro,Katarzyna Patro,Ursula Fischer,Hans-Christoph Nuerk,Hans-Christoph Nuerk,Ulrike Cress,Ulrike Cress +6 more
TL;DR: It is argued that simple activities, such as manual games, dominant in a given society, might shape number-space associations in children in a way similar to lifelong reading training, and the first to show a causal link between visuo-motor activities and number- space associations inChildren before they learn to read and write.
