Even before formal schooling, children map numbers onto space in a directional manner. The origin of this preliterate spatial-numerical association is still debated. We investigated the role of enculturation for shaping the directionality of the association between numbers and space, focusing on counting behavior in 3–5-year-old preliterate children. Two studies provide evidence that, after observing reading from storybooks (left-to-right or right-to-left) children change their counting direction in line with the direction of observed reading. Just observing visuo-spatial directional movements had no such effect on counting direction. Complementarily, we document that book illustrations, prevalent in children’s cultures, exhibit directionality that conforms to the direction of a culture’s written language. We propose that shared book reading activates spatio-temporal representations of order in young children which in turn affect their spatial representation of numbers.
