人类的数学直觉能力是取决于语言能力，还是取决于视觉空间表征？一系列的行为和脑成像实验为这两个来源提供了证据，准确的算术是以特定于语言的格式获得的，很难迁移到另一种语言或新的事实中，并招募了参与单词联想过程的网络。相比之下，近似算术表现出语言独立性，依赖于一种数字大小的感觉，并招募参与视觉空间处理的双侧顶叶区域。这些大脑系统的相互作用可能会产生数学直觉。
Does the human capacity for mathematical intuition depend on linguistic competence or on visuo-spatial representations? A series of behavioral and brain-imaging experiments provides evidence for both sources, Exact arithmetic is acquired in a Language-specific format, transfers poorly to a different Language or to novel facts, and recruits networks involved in word-association processes. In contrast, approximate arithmetic shows language independence, relies on a sense of numerical magnitudes, and recruits bilateral areas of the parietal Lobes involved in visuo-spatial processing. Mathematical intuition may emerge from the interplay of these brain systems.
