Number magnitude affects spatial decisions: Evidence of spatial-numerical associations with complex movements

Puntos clave

• Spatial-numerical associations affect decision-making processes during complex movements, making them crucial for navigation.
• Evidence shows that individuals relate larger numbers to rightward movements and smaller numbers to leftward ones, indicating a strong cognitive effect.
• The study utilized observational analysis, investigating how number magnitude influences spatial decisions through various movement tasks.
• These findings may enable targeted strategies in cognitive training for improving decision-making and spatial awareness, requiring additional research.
