📖Program Curriculum
Project details Numbers and space are tightly linked in the human mind. For example, the SNARC effect (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes effect) describes the finding that small numbers are usually associated with the left whereas large numbers are associated with the right side of space. This SNARC effect is just one out of many so-called Spatial-Numerical Associations (SNAs) used to describe and evaluate bi-directional links between spatial and numerical processing.
Traditionally SNAs have been considered an important cornerstone for number processing and mathematics learning in humans. However, recent evidence suggests for example that less than 50% of participants reveal a reliable SNARC effect at an individual level. This not only questions the generality of the SNARC effect but also the role SNAs play in mathematics learning more broadly. Put more plainly: Can SNAs be a cornerstone of mathematics learning if only less than half of us reveal them?
This project will investigate the individual prevalence of different SNAs and further aims at answering the question of whether different SNAs reflect the same underlying mechanism.
