Finger-Based Numerical Training Increases Sensorimotor Activation for Arithmetic in Children—An fNIRS Study

Most children use their fingers when learning to count and calculate. These sensorimotor experiences were argued to underlie reported behavioral associations of finger gnosis and counting with mathematical skills. On the neural level, associations were assumed to originate from overlapping neural re...
