--- abstract: 'Models of the numerical cognitive system differ in the importance they attach to magnitude information in numerical processing. In this paper, the necessity of addressing a central semantic number system in arabic number processing is evaluated by looking at the SNARC-effect. This effect has been interpreted as an indication of access to the semantic system. In Experiment 1, we replicated the effect in a parity judgement task. In Experiment 2, we extended the SNARC-effect to a phoneme monitoring task, showing that magnitude information was accessed during arabic-to-verbal transcoding. We conclude, therefore, that number magnitude plays a more important role than is generally accepted.' altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Fias given: W. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Brysbaert given: M. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Geypens given: F. honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: d'Ydewalle given: G. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 1996 date_type: published datestamp: 2004-03-04 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/34/44 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3444 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3444/1/Fias_MathCog_96.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: 'SNARC, number processing' lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:28 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: ~ pagerange: 95-110 pubdom: FALSE publication: Mathematical Cognition publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 10 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 16:51:04 subjects: - cog-psy succeeds: ~ suggestions: Wim Fias is in favour of me making this available.
