Non-abstractness as mental simulation in the representation of number
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 August 2009
Abstract
Abstraction is instrumental for our understanding of how numbers are cognitively represented. We propose that the notion of abstraction becomes testable from within the framework of simulated cognition. We describe mental simulation as embodied, grounded, and situated cognition, and report evidence for number representation at each of these levels of abstraction.
