… that visual numerosity is estimated using continuous magnitudes, such as density or area, …
highlights that both numerosity and continuous magnitudes are spontaneously encoded in …

… The argument is that such basic skills are made possible by a dedicated neural mechanism
(an innate 'sense of number') allowing us to compare, perceive and manipulate non-…

… Correspondingly, the ANS might function to represent number even if its numerical … diverse

… ANS has been shown to support a primitive sense of number in infants, children, and adults….
… that process continuous magnitudes. Instead, there exists an innate “sense of magnitude” …

… If there is an ANS dedicated to representing number, the perception of continuous magnitudes
… Children’s intuitive sense of number develops independently of their perception of area, …

We also speculate on possible underlying mechanisms in invertebrate brains and on the role …

… prudent to appeal to a general sense of magnitude that is capable of responding to numerosity
variations due to the fact that number co-varies with other magnitudes, in which case the …

… is inextricably intertwined with our sense of magnitude. … , we agree that children develop a
sense of number that does not … For example, if we take mental magnitudes as real numbers on …

… The current perspective differs from extant models in that we argue against the perceptual
separability of number from other magnitudes (see also Cantrell & Smith, 2013), suggesting …

… If this is so, it is correct to characterize it as a sense of numerosity, but not a sense of number…
