From “sense of number” to “sense of magnitude”: The role of continuous magnitudes in numerical cognition
In this review, we are pitting two theories against each other: the more accepted theory, the
number sense theory, suggesting that a sense of number is innate and non-symbolic …

Sensory-integration system rather than approximate number system underlies numerosity processing: A critical review
It is widely accepted that human and nonhuman species possess a specialized system to
process large approximate numerosities. The theory of an evolutionarily ancient …
