Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) Arabic numerals, depending on context, can be categorized as cardinal (e.g., prices), ordinal (e.g., third), or nominal (e.g., phone numbers). The first two categories represent quantities, whereas the same cannot be stated with certainty for numerals in nominal context. We assessed the quantity processing in a comparison task that was preceded by prices and postal codes read either aloud or silently. We used the numerical distance effect as a cognitive measure of semantic processing in each context. Numerical context and its reading interacted with the distance effect, especially when both contexts were read aloud. The interactions may be due to the contextual modulation of the magnitude representation and its digitalisation, holistic processing for cardinal, and sequential processing for nominal primes.
