Our new paper on the relationship between finger counting routines and SNARC effect is out in Acta Psychologica. In a nutshell:
- Finger counting starting hand and the SNARC slopes were not related.
- When individual prevalence of the SNARC was considered, stable left-starters were more likely to reveal a reliable SNARC.
- Finger counting starting hand stability was not related to the SNARC effect.
- Our findings show some limits of the embodied cognition stance in explaining Spatial-Numerical Associations.
