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 …

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

Philosopher Ned Block argues in this book that there is a" joint in nature" between
perception and cognition and that by exploring the nature of that joint, one can solve …

What do infants know? How does the knowledge that they begin with prepare them for
learning about the particular physical, cultural, and social world in which they live? Answers …

Humans, including infants, and many other species have a capacity for rapid, nonverbal
estimation of numerosity. However, the mechanisms for number perception are still not clear; …

Although humans are the only species to possess language-driven abstract mathematical
capacities, we share with many other animals a nonverbal capacity for estimating quantities …

There is considerable interest in how humans estimate the number of objects in a scene in
the context of an extensive literature on how we estimate the density (ie, spacing) of objects …

Humans are endowed with an intuitive number sense that allows us to perceive and
estimate numerosity without relying on language. It is controversial, however, as to whether …

Numerosity estimation is phylogenetically ancient and foundational to human mathematical
learning, but its computational bases remain controversial. Here we show that visual …

The study of neuronal specialisation in different cognitive and perceptual domains is
important for our understanding of the human brain, its typical and atypical development …
