Eye gaze reveals a fast, parallel extraction of the syntax of arithmetic formulas.

TLDR
Analysis of eye movement sequences during the calculation of arithmetic expressions provides strong evidence for a syntactic organization for arithmetic thinking, paving the way for further comparative analysis of differences and coincidences in the instantiation of recursion in language and mathematics.

Spatial Associations in Numerical Cognition—From Single Digits to Arithmetic:

TL;DR: It is concluded that the mental number line hypothesis and an embodied approach are useful frameworks for further studies on spatial biases found for single digits and pairs of numbers.

Of magnitudes and metaphors: explaining cognitive interactions between space, time, and number.

TL;DR: It is argued that simple representations of magnitude cannot, on their own, account for the rich, complex interactions between space, time and number described by Conceptual Metaphor Theory, and proposed that ATOM and CMT are complementary, each illuminating different aspects of cross-domain interactions.

Eye movements reveal students’ strategies in simple equation solving

TL;DR: In this article, eye movements of 40 university students were recorded while they were rearranging simple algebraic equations, and the analysis of behavioral and eye tracking data, namely the accuracy, reaction times, and number of fixations, revealed that the participants improved their performance during the time course of the measurement.

Spatial biases during mental arithmetic: evidence from eye movements on a blank screen

TL;DR: The results do not support the idea of a mental movement toward the solution during arithmetic but indicate a semantic association between operation and space.

The Minimalist Program

Noam Chomsky
TL;DR: This twentieth-anniversary edition reissues Noam Chomsky's classic work The Minimalist Program with a new preface by the author, which emphasizes that the minimalist approach developed in the book and in subsequent work "is a program, not a theory."

Eye movements in reading and information processing: 20 years of research.

TL;DR: The basic theme of the review is that eye movement data reflect moment-to-moment cognitive processes in the various tasks examined.

The Language of Thought

TL;DR: In this article, Fodor argues that, while our best current theories of cognitive psychology view many higher processes as computational, computation itself presupposes an internal medium of representation, which is the speculative approach to the philosophy of mind.
