Relation between approximate number system acuity and mathematical achievement: The influence of fluency [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2016 Previous studies have observed inconsistent relations between the acuity of the Approximate Number System (ANS) and mathematical achievement. In this paper, we hypothesize that the relation between ANS acuity and mathematical achievement is influenced by

The Association Between Higher Education and Approximate Number System Acuity [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 Humans are equipped with an Approximate Number System (ANS) supporting non-symbolic numerosity representation. Studies indicate a relationship between ANS-precision (acuity) and math achievement. Whether the ANS is a prerequisite for learning mathematics

Malleability of the approximate number system: effects of feedback and training [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 Prior research demonstrates that animals and humans share an approximate number system (ANS), characterized by ratio dependence and that the precision of this system increases substantially over human development. The goal of the present research was to

In how many ways is the approximate number system associated with exact calculation? [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The approximate number system (ANS) has been consistently found to be associated with math achievement. However, little is known about the interactions between the different instantiations of the ANS and in how many ways they are related to exact ...

The neural basis of intuitive approximate number system in board game Go (Baduk) experts [PDF]
Scientific ReportsStudies have shown that newborns and nonhuman animals innately estimate quantities using the approximate number system (ANS), raising questions about whether the ANS is a precursor to advanced computational abilities or an independent cognitive function.

Are Approximate Number System Representations Numerical?
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023 Previous research suggests that the Approximate Number System (ANS) allows people to approximate the cardinality of a set. This ability to discern numerical quantities may explain how meaning becomes associated with number symbols.
