Abstract

Extending the reach of mousetracking in numerical cognition: a comment on Fischer and Hartmann (2014).

Highlights

  • In a recent article, Fischer and Hartmann (2014) present a brief methodological review of the use of computer mousetracking in analyzing the processes involved in numerical cognition

  • After presenting a general overview of the computer mousetracking method, Fischer and Hartmann make several recommendations that will surely help to facilitate comparison and interpretation across a variety of studies as we continue to advance our knowledge of the dynamics of numerical processing

  • It is on this note that we feel the review of Fischer and Hartmann (2014) unintentionally limits the utility of computer mousetracking to only providing evidence of continuous competition in numerical processing

Summary

Introduction

In a recent article, Fischer and Hartmann (2014) present a brief methodological review of the use of computer mousetracking in analyzing the processes involved in numerical cognition. Most certainly this review is a welcome addition to the mathematical cognition literature, especially in light of recent studies that have used the technique to study numerical decision processes.
