| Abstract(in English) | We used 1.5T functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore that which brain areas contribute uniquely to numeric computation. The BOLD effect activation pattern of metal arithmetic task (successive subtraction: actual calculation task) was compared with multiplication tables repetition task (rote verbal arithmetic memory task) response. The activation found in right parietal lobule during metal arithmetic task suggested that quantitative cognition or numeric computation may need the assistance of spatial cognition, such as spatial imagination and spatial sensuous convert. In addition, this machanism may be an "analog algorism" in the simple mental arithmetic processing. |
