In search of non-abstract representation of numbers: Maybe on the right track, but still not there

Research output: Contribution to journal › Comment/debate

Abstract

We agree that the default numerical representation is best accessed by probing automatic processing. The locus of this representation is apparently at the horizontal intraparietal sulcus (HIPS), the convergence zone of magnitude information. The parietal lobes are the right place to look for non-abstract representation of magnitude, yet the proof for that is still to be found.
