The present paper describes a tool developed to model and simulate tasks related to numerical cognition, a very important element of both animal and human cognition. In particular, we describe how this software has been used to study a bias that has been consistently observed in humans, both adults and children, about the calculation of the middle point between two numbers and related with the position of numbers in intervals, called NIPE (number interval position effect). Along with the description of the software and the experimental results about the NIPE effect, some results are reported which show the potential of this approach

Abstract
The present paper describes a tool developed to model and simulate tasks related to numerical cognition, a very important element of both animal and human cognition. In particular, we describe how this software has been used to study a bias that has been consistently observed in humans, both adults and children, about the calculation of the middle point between two numbers and related with the position of numbers in intervals, called NIPE (number interval position effect). Along with the description of the software and the experimental results about the NIPE effect, some results are reported which show the potential of this approachI documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
