It is widely accepted that human and nonhuman species possess a specialized system to
process large approximate numerosities. The theory of an evolutionarily ancient …

Comment les symboles numériques, tels que des mots exprimant un nombre, acquièrent-ils
leur sens? Cette question, ou «problème du fondement des symboles», est au cœur du …

Math relies on mastery and integration of a wide range of simpler numerical processes and
concepts. Recent work has identified several numerical competencies that predict variation …

The approximate number system (ANS) subserves estimation of the number of items in a set.
Typically, ANS function is assessed by requiring participants to compare the number of dots …

People can identify the number of objects in sets of four or fewer items with near-perfect
accuracy but exhibit linearly increasing error for larger sets. Some researchers have taken …

The most common method of indexing Approximate Number System (ANS) acuity is to use a
nonsymbolic dot comparison task. Currently there is no standard protocol for creating the dot …

In the present study we examined whether children with Developmental Dyscalculia (DD)
exhibit a deficit in the so‐called 'Approximate Number System'(ANS). To do so, we examined …

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

The last decade has seen a rapid growth in our understanding of the cognitive systems that
underlie mathematical learning and performance, and an increased recognition of the …

Dot comparison tasks are commonly used to index an individual's Approximate Number
System (ANS) acuity, but the cognitive processes involved in completing these tasks are …
