From “sense of number” to “sense of magnitude”: The role of continuous magnitudes in numerical cognition
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 …

Understanding the origin of number sense: a review of fish studies
The ability to use quantitative information is thought to be adaptive in a wide range of
ecological contexts. For nearly a century, the numerical abilities of mammals and birds have …

Evidence for two numerical systems that are similar in humans and guppies
Background Humans and non-human animals share an approximate non-verbal system for
representing and comparing numerosities that has no upper limit and for which accuracy is …

Adult cleaner wrasse outperform capuchin monkeys, chimpanzees and orang-utans in a complex foraging task derived from cleaner–client reef fish cooperation
The insight that animals' cognitive abilities are linked to their evolutionary history, and hence
their ecology, provides the framework for the comparative approach. Despite primates …

Spontaneous versus trained numerical abilities. A comparison between the two main tools to study numerical competence in non-human animals
A large body of experimental evidence shows that animals as diverse as mammals, birds,
and fish are capable of processing numerical information. Considerable differences have …

[HTML][HTML] Toward exact number: Young children use one-to-one correspondence to measure set identity but not numerical equality
Exact integer concepts are fundamental to a wide array of human activities, but their origins
are obscure. Some have proposed that children are endowed with a system of natural …
