Education enhances the acuity of the nonverbal approximate number system. [PDF]
Psychol Sci, 2013 All humans share a universal, evolutionarily ancient approximate number system (ANS) that estimates and combines the numbers of objects in sets with ratio-limited precision. Interindividual variability in the acuity of the ANS correlates with mathematical achievement, but the causes of this correlation have never been established.

Preschoolers' precision of the approximate number system predicts later school mathematics performance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The Approximate Number System (ANS) is a primitive mental system of nonverbal representations that supports an intuitive sense of number in human adults, children, infants, and other animal species.

Rational Number Representation by the Approximate Number System
, 2023 The approximate number system (ANS) enables organisms to represent the approximate number of items in an observed collection, quickly and independently of natural language. Recently, it has been proposed that the ANS goes beyond representing natural numbers by extracting and representing rational numbers (Clarke & Beck 2021a).

The Numeric Ebbinghaus Effect: Evidence for a Density-Area Mechanism of Numeric Estimation?
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023 One model of numeric perception is a density-area mechanism: a process that estimates both density and area of an array, then multiplies them to create an estimate of number.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2015 Aging often leads to general cognitive decline in domains such as memory and attention. The effect of aging on numerical cognition, particularly on foundational numerical skills known as the Number Sense, is not well known.

Training the approximate number system improves math proficiency. [PDF]
Psychol Sci, 2013 Humans and nonhuman animals share an approximate number system (ANS) that permits estimation and rough calculation of quantities without symbols. Recent studies show a correlation between the acuity of the ANS and performance in symbolic math throughout development and into adulthood, which suggests that the ANS may serve as a cognitive foundation for ...

NASCO: A New Method and Program to Generate Dot Arrays for Non-Symbolic Number Comparison Tasks
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2020 Basic numerical abilities are generally assumed to influence more complex cognitive processes involving numbers, such as mathematics. Yet measuring non-symbolic number abilities remains challenging due to the intrinsic correlation between numerical and ...

The Interaction between Congruency and Numerical Ratio Effects in the Nonsymbolic Comparison Test
Behavioral Sciences, 2023 The nonsymbolic comparison task is used to investigate the precision of the Approximate Number Sense, the ability to process discrete numerosity without counting and symbols.
