Number-Space Association in Macaques

2026-03-25

Abstract excerpt

Humans order numbers in space from left to right, with smaller quantities represented preferentially in the left hemispace and larger ones in the right hemispace. The direction of this mental number line (MNL), or more generally of number–space associations (NSA), is influenced by cultural habits such as reading and writing direction. However, a growing body of evidence from pre-verbal infants and non-human animal...
