In this review, we are pitting two theories against each other: the more accepted theory, the
number sense theory, suggesting that a sense of number is innate and non-symbolic …

Perceptual representations of objects and approximate magnitudes are often invoked as
building blocks that children combine to acquire the positive integers. Systems of numerical …

Young children can quickly and intuitively represent the number of objects in a visual scene
through the Approximate Number System (ANS). The precision of the ANS–indexed as the …

We outline a dual systems approach to temporal cognition, which distinguishes between two
cognitive systems for dealing with how things unfold over time–a temporal updating system …

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 …

Mathematical skills are essential to mastering everyday activities, making professional
choices, and exercising citizenship in a numerate society. There is extensive evidence of the …

There has long been interest in how the mind represents numerical magnitude, particularly
in the absence of symbols. For humans and nonhuman animals, number represents a core …

Place value concepts were measured longitudinally from kindergarten (2017) to first grade
(2018) in a diverse sample (n= 279; Mage= 5.76 years, SD= 0.55; 135 females; 41% Black …

Throughout the life span, we are capable of representing quantities in the absence of
language, or nonsymbolically. Additionally, over the course of development, we learn many …

Various laboratory-based numerical cognition measures are often found to be linked with
standardized math scores, yet the exact nature of these links over development remains in …
