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

The purpose of this thesis was to examine longitudinal predictors of children's early
arithmetic abilities with a particular focus on the relation to the approximate number system …

We investigated whether the approximate number system (ANS) was related to arithmetic
among kindergartners and the mechanism underlying this possible relation. Specifically, we …

Children can represent number in at least two ways: by using their non-verbal, intuitive
approximate number system (ANS) and by using words and symbols to count and represent …

It is largely admitted that processing numerosity relies on an innate Approximate Number
System (ANS), and recent research consistently observed a relationship between ANS …

Studies investigating the relationship between working memory (WM) and approximate
number system (ANS) acuity in the area of arithmetic strategy utilization are scarce. The …

Computational estimation is seen as an important mathematical competence. Little is known,
however, about the mathematical skills that are predictive of early computational estimation …

In this paper we take a critical look at the state-of-the-art in the research domain of early
mathematical development and education. We start with a brief review of the influential and …

A significant body of research has indicated that acuity of the neurocognitive system used to
represent numerical magnitudes, often referred to as the approximate number system (ANS) …

The approximate number system (ANS) represents and processes quantities from different
sensorial modalities. Two issues about ANS were investigated in this study: its malleability …
