Publication date: October 2019Source: Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, Volume 186Author(s): Arnaud Viarouge, Olivier Houdé, Grégoire BorstAbstractAdapting a numerical comparison task to a negative priming paradigm, we aimed to provide new evidence that inhibitory control processes are involved in numerical comparison. We observed negative priming effects in both 7- to 8-year-olds (n = 47, Mage = 7.92 years) and adults (n = 33, Mage = 27.86 years), confirming that inhibition of irrelevant...
