Abstract
There has been substantial research on nonverbal number
estimation in adults, including the possibility that individual
differences in numerical estimation abilities may correlate with
mathematical performance. Additionally, there is some evidence that
spatial and numerical processing systems overlap in what is called
a general magnitude system (GMS). If a GMS exists, then it is
conceivable that nonverbal spatial estimation abilities may
correlate with math achievement as well. This study is the first to
examine this relation between magnitude estimation, both spatial
and numerical, and math achievement in adults at one point in time.
Preliminary support was found for a relation between both spatial
and numerical acuity and math performance, opening the possibility
that number and space have a common processing mechanism relating
to math performance.
