Number sense, the ability to estimate numerosity, is observed in naïve animals, but how this
cognitive function emerges in the brain remains unclear. Here, using an artificial deep …

The core knowledge hypothesis postulates that infants automatically analyze their
environment along abstract dimensions, including numbers. According to this view …

In a series of recently published studies purportedly on the “additive-area heuristic,” Yousif &
Keil (2019, 2020) argue for a systematic distortion in the perception of the cumulative area of …

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 …

Numerosity perception is thought to be foundational to mathematical learning, but its
computational bases are strongly debated. Some investigators argue that humans are …

EEG has been central to investigations of the time course of various neural functions
underpinning visual word recognition. Recently the steady-state visual evoked potential …

Numerosity is a fundamental aspect of the external environment, needed to guide our
behavior in an effective manner. Previous studies show that numerosity processing involves …

Visual displays of objects include information about number and other magnitudes such as
cumulative surface area. Despite the confluence of cues, a prevalent view is that number is …

Many species of animals exhibit an intuitive sense of number, suggesting a fundamental
neural mechanism for representing numerosity in a visual scene. Recent empirical studies …

Humans and other species share a perceptual mechanism dedicated to the representation
of approximate quantities that allows to rapidly and reliably estimate the numerosity of a set …
