Summary
DescriptionGalton number form.svg | A number form from one of Francis Galton's subjects from his The Visions of Sane Persons. Note the——convolutions.

This motif is also found in more recent studies (Piazza et al., 2006) consistent with an environmental influence on the "exact pattern of numerical-spatial associations." |
