The nature of the association between number line and mathematical performance
BackgroundThe number line task assesses the ability to estimate numerical magnitudes. People vary greatly in this ability, and this variability has been previously associated with mathematical skills. However, the sources of individual differences in number line estimation and its association with mathematics are not fully understood.AimsThis large-scale genetically sensitive study uses a twin design to estimate the magnitude of the effects of ge…
