Arithmetic on Your Phone: A Large Scale Investigation of Simple Additions and Multiplications. by Federico Zimmerman, Diego Shalom, Pablo A Gonzalez, Juan Manuel Garrido, Facundo Alvarez Heduan, Stanislas Dehaene, Mariano Sigman, Andres Rieznik

“…In multiplication, we observed a dominance of two effects: (1) a max-then-min pattern that can be accounted by the fact that it is easier to perform fewer additions of the largest number (i.e. 8x3 is easier to compute as 8+8+8 than as 3+3+…+3) and (2) a phonological effect by which problems for which there is a rhyme (i.e. …”
