1. Cognition in black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi): A battery of behavioral tests
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiAbstract : Cognition allows animals to acquire, process, and store sensory information from the environment and use it to adapt to their surroundings. A battery of behavioral tests was used to assess the cognitive abilities of black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi). READ MORE

2. Neural Substrates Correlated with Magnitude Processing in Children and Adults : An fMRI study examining the Triple Code Model of numerical cognition
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för beteendevetenskap och lärandeAbstract : The Triple Code Model (TCM) of numerical cognition has become one of the most predominantly theories for how humans perceive, manipulate, and communicate numerical information. It builds on the notion that there exist three functionally distinct but neurologically connected codes that handle manipulations of different numerical input (non-symbolic magnitudes, symbolic representations, and verbal number words).

5. Nature and Nurture in Numerical Cognition : Investigating the Idea of a Generalized Magnitude System for Number, Space, and Time
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap; Linköpings universitet/Filosofiska fakultetenAbstract : Current research in the field of numerical cognition reveals strong behavioral interactions and similar processing mechanisms for the perceptions of space, time, and number; which is generally believed to indicate that these dimensions share a common metric for representation in the brain. These three dimensions of magnitude––analog, ratio dependent representations of space, time, and number––are essential for interaction with the environment, and provide a conceptual basis on which further perceptual experience enhances the discrimination of distance, speed, numerosity, quantity, and size.
