Number symbols are part of our everyday visual world. Here we show that merely looking at numbers causes a shift in covert attention to the left or right side, depending upon the number's magnitude. This observation implies obligatory activation of number meaning and signals a tight coupling of internal and external representations of space.
数字符号是我们日常视觉世界的一部分。在此我们表明,仅仅看着数字就会导致隐蔽注意力根据数字大小向左或右侧转移。这一观察结果意味着数字意义的强制性激活,并标志着空间的内部和外部表征之间存在紧密耦合。
