3. 2. Cognition in black-handed spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi): A battery of behavioral tests

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Tiffany Claire Bosshard; [2020]
   Keywords : cognition; behavior; object permanence; associative learning; quantity discrimination; numerosity; long-term memory; spider monkey;

   Abstract : 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

4. 3. Is Speed a Magnitude? : Neurocognitive Estimations of Speed and its’ Connection to Time, Space and Numeric/Quantity Estimations

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskap

   Author : Björn Alvinge; [2018]
   Keywords : ; Speed; Time; Number; Space; Mental Line; Magnitude; ATOM; Problem Size; SNARC;

   Abstract : Associations between space, time, numbers and quantities have suggested that there must be a shared representational format which underlies them. One of the more prominent theories of an underlying system of representation is that of ATOM, which suggests that the there exists a generalized system of magnitude which processes these dimensions.

6. 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 fakulteten

   Author : Mikael Skagenholt; [2014]
   Keywords : Cognitive Science; Generalized Magnitude System; fMRI; ATOM; A Theory of Magnitude; Nature and Nurture; Numerical Cognition;

   Abstract : 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.
