Abstract
Numerical quantification was evaluated using dots and fingers configurations presented in near and far space. Number processing was faster for dots than fingers and in far than near space, and for fingers with canonical than non-canonical configurations. Number processing involves then embodied mechanisms overwhelming innate perceptual abilities.
