当代数字认知研究的一个基石是数字和空间之间惊人的联系。特别是，人们对左手键的小数字和右手键的大数字反应更快、更准确。由于这种偶然性存在于各种各样的任务中，所以它被用来支持量级的自动激活，以及从左到右排列的心理数轴的概念。目前的研究一方面挑战了左右位置和小-大数量之间存在的联系。我们表明空间和相对大小之间存在联系，这种关系可能是数字所独有的，也可能不是。
A cornerstone of contemporary research in numerical cognition is the surprising link found between numbers and space. In particular, people react faster and more accurately to small numbers with a left-hand key and to large numbers with a right-hand key. Because this contingency is found in a variety of tasks, it has been taken to support the automatic activation of magnitude as well as the notion of a mental number line arranged from left to right. The present study challenges the presence of a link between left-right location, on the one hand, and small-large number, on the other hand. We show that a link exists between space and relative magnitude, a relationship that might or might not be unique to numbers.
