TY - JOUR A1 - Fischer, Martin H. A1 - Shaki, Samuel T1 - Measuring spatial-numerical associations: evidence for a purely conceptual link JF - Psychological research : an international journal of perception, attention, memory, and action N2 - Previous work on spatial-numerical association (SNAs) included either spatially distributed stimuli or responses. This raises the possibility that the inferred spatial nature of number concepts was a methodological artifact. We present results from a novel task that involves two categories (spatially oriented objects and number magnitudes) and dissociates spatial classification from number classification. The results reveal SNAs without inferential limitations of previous work and point to a working memory mechanism that transfers spatial coding across categories.
