这项研究比较了三组成年人对数字的空间表征：加拿大人，他们从左到右阅读英语单词和阿拉伯数字;巴勒斯坦人，他们从右到左阅读阿拉伯单词和阿拉伯-印度数字。以色列人从右到左读希伯来语，但从左到右读阿拉伯数字。加拿大人将小数字与左边空间联系在一起，将大数字与右边空间联系在一起（SNARC效应），巴勒斯坦人表现出相反的联系，以色列人对数字没有可靠的空间联系。这些结果表明，对单词和数字的阅读习惯有助于数字的空间表征。
This study compared the spatial representation of numbers in three groups of adults: Canadians, who read both English words and Arabic numbers from left to right; Palestinians, who read Arabic words and Arabic-Indic numbers from right to left.; and Israelis, who read Hebrew words from right to left but Arabic numbers from left to right. Canadians associated small numbers with left and large numbers with right space (the SNARC effect), Palestinians showed the reverse association, and Israelis had no reliable spatial association for numbers. These results suggest that reading habits for both words and numbers contribute to the spatial representation of numbers.
