Core knowledge of object, number, and geometry: A comparative and neural approach
G Vallortigara - Cognitive neuropsychology, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
Studies on the ontogenetic origins of human knowledge provide evidence for a small set of
separable systems of core knowledge dealing with the representation of inanimate and …

A language of thought for the mental representation of geometric shapes
In various cultures and at all spatial scales, humans produce a rich complexity of geometric
shapes such as lines, circles or spirals. Here, we propose that humans possess a language …

Sensitivity to geometric shape regularity in humans and baboons: A putative signature of human singularity
M Sablé-Meyer, J Fagot, S Caparos… - Proceedings of the …, 2021 - National Acad Sciences
Among primates, humans are special in their ability to create and manipulate highly
elaborate structures of language, mathematics, and music. Here we show that this sensitivity …

Abstract spatial-temporal reasoning via probabilistic abduction and execution
Spatial-temporal reasoning is a challenging task in Artificial Intelligence (AI) due to its
demanding but unique nature: a theoretic requirement on representing and reasoning …

The language of geometry: Fast comprehension of geometrical primitives and rules in human adults and preschoolers
During language processing, humans form complex embedded representations from
sequential inputs. Here, we ask whether a “geometrical language” with recursive embedding …

Trend judgment as a perceptual building block of graphicacy and mathematics, across age, education, and culture
Data plots are widely used in science, journalism and politics, since they efficiently allow to
depict a large amount of information. Graphicacy, the ability to understand graphs, has thus …

Navigation as a source of geometric knowledge: Young children's use of length, angle, distance, and direction in a reorientation task
Geometry is one of the highest achievements of our species, but its foundations are obscure.
Consistent with longstanding suggestions that geometrical knowledge is rooted in …
