Abstract： At present, Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes (SNARC effect) has been widely studied in the field of cognitive psychology. However, few studies have examined the effect of SNARC effect on real life activities (such as walking). This study explores the effect of number magnitude cognitive representation on the activation of spatial direction movement from the perspective of embodied cognition. When different amounts of stimuli were present in the virtual environment, whether the experimental paradigm of "mental number line" of newborn chickens and the results which has been published on science by Rugani, Vallortigara, Priftis and Regolin (2015a) could be transferred to human beings. This study attempts to use Bayesian analyses to make full use of the prior information of bias information which may exist in the subjects and the bias information of the participants in each trial, so as to obtain the bias of the participants in the presentation of different amounts of stimuli. But we did not get very persuasive data, and analyzed the possible reasons.
