Abstract
Are there cognitive connections between humans' ability to make music and their understanding of math and numbers? This question has motivated centuries of speculation across the fields of philosophy and education and an increasing number of empirical studies of the topic. We review research at the intersection of numerical and music cognition, and establish its relevance both to the applied sphere (e.g., education) and to core theoretical issues in the cognitive sciences. Next, we identify notable limitations within the literature, and attempt to explain some of the likely causes of-and solutions to-these limitations. Finally, we propose specific themes of focus (spatialization and the mapping between symbolic and nonsymbolic representations) for future research aimed at understanding whether there is shared cognitive architecture for reasoning about number and math.

期刊介绍：
The Canadian Journal of Experimental Psychology publishes original research papers that advance understanding of the field of experimental psychology, broadly considered. This includes, but is not restricted to, cognition, perception, motor performance, attention, memory, learning, language, decision making, development, comparative psychology, and neuroscience. The journal publishes - papers reporting empirical results that advance knowledge in a particular research area; - papers describing theoretical, methodological, or conceptual advances that are relevant to the interpretation of empirical evidence in the field; - brief reports (less than 2,500 words for the main text) that describe new results or analyses with clear theoretical or methodological import.
