Space, time and number in the brain searching for the foundations of mathematical thought : an attention and performance series volume
The study of mathematical cognition and the ways in which the ideas of space, time and number are encoded in brain circuitry has become a fundamental issue for neuroscience. How such encoding differs across cultures and educational level is of further interest in education and neuropsychology. This...
