Popis:	Two experiments using a number matching task (NMT) explored whether two-digit numbers are processed holistically or in a compositional fashion. In the NMT participants are required to decide whether one of the two numbers initially provided (cues) is presented some milliseconds later or not (probe). Probes which have some arithmetic relationship to the cues (e.g., cues: 2 3, probe: 6) are rejected more slowy than probes unrelated to their cues (e.g., cues: 2 3, probe: 7) – interference effect –, and this is considered as evidence of the automatic activation of that arithmetic relationship. Participants were presented with two-digit cues and probes which had an arithmetic progression relationship only detectable once the numbers were decomposed (Experiment 1: cues: 56 7, probe: 89; Experiment 2: cues: 45 67, probe: 89). Results showed longer response times in these conditions compared to unrelated conditions. Data support componential processing even when the numbers to be matched are presented serially.
