Many studies have investigated the association between numerical magnitude processing
skills, as assessed by the numerical magnitude comparison task, and broader mathematical …

It is widely accepted that human and nonhuman species possess a specialized system to
process large approximate numerosities. The theory of an evolutionarily ancient …

The integrated theory of numerical development posits that a central theme of numerical
development from infancy to adulthood is progressive broadening of the types and ranges of …

The development of sub-disciplines within cognitive neuroscience follows common sense
categories such as language, audition, action, memory, emotion and perception among …

The approximate number system (ANS) subserves estimation of the number of items in a set.
Typically, ANS function is assessed by requiring participants to compare the number of dots …

To date, researchers investigating nonsymbolic number processes devoted little attention to
the visual properties of their stimuli. This is unexpected, as nonsymbolic number is defined …

Mainstream theory suggests that the approximate number system supports our non-symbolic
number abilities (eg estimating or comparing different sets of items). It is argued that this …

This study evaluated the interrelations among cognitive precursors across quantitative,
linguistic, and spatial attention domains that have been implicated for math achievement in …

Background The development of an evolutionarily grounded analogue magnitude
representation linked to the parietal lobes is frequently thought to be a major factor in the …

Human mathematical abilities comprise both learned, symbolic representations of number
and unlearned, non-symbolic evolutionarily primitive cognitive systems for representing …
