Recent theories in numerical cognition propose the existence of an approximate number
system (ANS) that supports the representation and processing of quantity information …

Human adults are thought to possess two dissociable systems to represent numbers: an
approximate quantity system akin to a mental number line, and a verbal system capable of …

Much recent research attention has focused on understanding individual differences in the
approximate number system, a cognitive system believed to underlie human mathematical …

The approximate number system (ANS) is thought to support non-symbolic representations
of numerical magnitudes in humans. Recently much debate has focused on the causal …

Recent research suggests that humans perceive quantity using a non-symbolic “number
sense.” This sense is then thought to provide a foundation for understanding symbolic …

Whether our general numerical skills and the mathematical knowledge that we acquire at
school are entwined is a debated issue, which many researchers are still striving to …

Abstract Reasoning with non-symbolic numerosities is suggested to be rooted in the
Approximate Number System (ANS) and evidence pointing to a relationship between the …

From early in life, humans have access to an approximate number system (ANS) that
supports an intuitive sense of numerical quantity. Previous work in both children and adults …
