The influence of semantics and numerical representation on the SNARC effect.

ABSTRACT: World semantics refers to how individuals comprehend and ascribe meaning to phenomena within specific sociocultural and environmental contexts. And it significantly influences how people conceptualize numerical properties, such as quantity ("how many") and order ("which"), influencing their resolution of cardinal and ordinal numerical task. In order to reveal the influence of world semantics on the joint effects of encoding spatial-numerical responses related to cardinal and ordinal numbers, this study conducted three experimental contexts with distinct numerical representations: (1) a non-symbolic context, where numbers were represented using dot arrays; (2) a symbolic context, where numbers were presented as Chinese characters; and (3) a word problem solving context, where numerical valu
