“…Although the parietal cortex has been implicated in numerical processing, it has been also associated with various attentional and executive control functions, which include components of spatial shifts of attention (e.g., Bolognini, Fregni, Casati, Olgiati, & Vallar, 2010;Bolognini, Olgiati, Rossetti, & Maravita, 2010), selection processes (e.g., Weiss & Lavidor, 2012), and working memory capacity (Heimrath, Sandmann, Becke, Müller, & Zaehle, 2012;Tseng et al, 2012). Although it is not likely that participants had relied on working memory in the task, in particular at longer sequence durations, at which working memory capacity would severely degrade performance (see Brezis et al, 2015, for a detailed study of this question), it could nonetheless be argued that the enhanced accuracy we observed under parietal stimulation is due solely to enhanced attentional capacities rather than to enhanced numerical precision.…”
