    "title": "Finger Gnosis And Symbolic Number Comparison as Robust Predictors of Adult\nNumeracy",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Finger gnosis and magnitude comparison were examined as predictors of adult numeracy. Previous findings were\nextended by (1) controlling for domain-general comparison processes (using a luminance judgment task), (2) controlling for\nvisuo-spatial memory, and (3) examining the robustness of the relations across different numeracy tests, including exact and\napproximate calculations. Control variables were entered in the first step of a multiple regression, with finger gnosis and\nmagnitude comparison entered as a second step. Finger gnosis and symbolic magnitude comparison predicted unique variance\nin adults’ calculation fluency, computational estimation, and Woodcock Johnson calculation scores. The control variables,\nluminance comparison and visuo-spatial memory, did not account for significant variance in the numeracy outcomes, nor did\nnon-symbolic magnitude comparison. These findings suggest that (1) the relation between finger gnosis and numeracy does not\nreflect visuo-spatial memory and (2) the relation between magnitude comparison and numeracy reflects number representations,\nrather than domain general processes.",
