Abstract	Following a recent surge of interest in finger-based number knowledge, we invited empirical and conceptual contributions to assess the feasibility of a Research Topic on this issue. We received a considerable number of submissions, many of which were further improved by constructive and interactive peer-review and ultimately appeared as part of the Research Topic “Handy numbers: Finger counting and numerical cognition. ” We wish to thank all authors and reviewers, as well as the publisher’s support team around Meghan Hodge, for their excellent work. This enthusiastic response from the research community confirmed our expectation that the time is ripe to consider the domain of number knowledge from the theoretical perspective of embodied cognition. This domain is particularly challenging for an embodied perspective on human cognition because mental arithmetic was thought to consist of abstract and amodal symbol manipulation. By
