Several studies suggest that numerical and spatial representations are intrinsically linked.Recent findings demonstrate that also motor actions interact with number magnitude processing, showing a motor-to-semantic effect.The current study assesses read more whether calculation processes can be modulated by motions performed with the whole body.Participants were required to make additions or subtractions while performing (on-line condition) or after having experienced (off-line condition) an ascending or descending motion through a passive (i.e.
, taking the elevator) color touch 7/97 or an active (i.e., taking the stairs) mode.Results show a congruency effect between the type of calculation and the direction of the motion depending on: a) the off-line or on-line condition, b) the passive or active mode and c) the real or imagined task.Implications of the results for an embodied and grounded perspective view will be discussed.
