Abstract
Researchers have debated whether symbolic and nonsymbolic numbers are represented in the same way. We used a novel enumeration stroop paradigm to examine facilitation and interference symbolic and nonsymbolic numbers during a number comparison task. Results revealed that symbolic numbers are processed more automatically than nonsymbolic numbers.
