• Resumen

  • In this paper, the connection between spatial and numericalcognition is highlighted and some applications to improve them are discussed. Indeed, in children, it is possible to promote numerical cognition, which is the base of mathematical cognition and academic achievement in later years, by strengthening their natural endowment to deal both with numerical stimuli and spatial stimuli.Together with a brief review about spatial and numerical cognition,two tools that are meant to improve them with a Game-based and Technology enhanced approach are reported.
