Existing studies have shown mixed evidence for the role of the home numeracy environment
(HNE) in supporting children's early numeracy skills. To address some of the limitations of …

The Give-N (give-a-number) task has become a popular assessment of children's number
word learning since Wynn's (1990; 1992) seminal work 30 years ago. Using the Give-N task …

This longitudinal cross-lagged panel study investigated the development of the structure of
young children's spontaneous number focusing tendencies and their longitudinal …

Children learn their first number words gradually over the course of many months, which is
surprising given their ability to discriminate small numerosities. One potential explanation for …

Research has identified that children differ in the extent to which they spontaneously focus
on numerical aspects of the environment (Spontaneous Focusing on Numerosity, SFON) …

Background: Children's spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) is related to numerical
skills. This study aimed to examine (1) the developmental trajectory of SFON and (2) the …
