What Math Looks Like in the Mind [EN]

Su suggerimento di @GiMa.

Un articolo di The Atlantic riporta alcuni studi sul legame tra matematica e visualizzazione, partendo dalle persone affette da cecità.

“Humans are born to do math, and they have the brain infrastructure to prove it—including a cluster of specialized nerve cells for processing numbers.

Despite this dedicated cluster, mathematical concepts are often taught in a way that taps into the brain’s visual system. Children might be asked to count the apples in a picture, or to imagine two trains speeding away from one another at different speeds. But just how much does visual experience shape the way that people think about numbers?”
