Zusammenfassung

Las representaciones de los dedos se utilizan para contar o mostrar cantidades. La forma en que se levantan los dedos para contar y el tipo de representación que utilizamos para comunicar cantidades han sido el foco de atención de estudios que han tenido como objetivo proporcionar evidencia de patrones dominantes en diferentes culturas. En el estudio actual, vamos más allá de esos estudios e investigamos la variabilidad intracultural. En concreto, si los hábitos de conteo con los dedos y los patrones de conteo con los dedos son similares en niños y adultos. Para este objetivo, un total de 3.210 participantes españoles participaron en este estudio (637 niños y 2.573 adultos). A todos ellos se les evaluó en relación con la lateralidad, la forma en que contaban con los dedos del 1 al 10 (conteo con los dedos) y cómo mostraban cantidades con los dedos (conteo con los dedos). Los resultados mostraron cierta consistencia; sin embargo, hubo una variabilidad sustancial dentro de cada grupo. Los hallazgos se interpretan en el contexto de las teorías actuales que refuerzan la relevancia de los patrones de los dedos para apoyar la comprensión del significado de los números.
