Conceptual Correlates of Counting: Children’s Spontaneous Matching and Tracking of Large Sets Reflects Their Knowledge of the Cardinal Principle

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Cognition, 2017
The acquisition of counting is a major milestone for children. A central question is how children’s non-verbal number concepts change as they learn to count.

Differences in Counting Skills Between Chinese and German Children Are Accompanied by Differences in Processing of Approximate Numerical Magnitude Information

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Human beings are supposed to possess an approximate number system (ANS) dedicated to extracting and representing approximate numerical magnitude information as well as an object tracking system (OTS) for the rapid and accurate enumeration of small sets ...

Estimation of Importance: Relative Contributions of Symbolic and Non-Symbolic Number Systems to Exact and Approximate Calculation

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Cognition, 2017
The topic of how symbolic and non-symbolic number systems relate to exact calculation skill has received great discussion for a number of years now. However, little research has been done to examine how these systems relate to approximate calculation ...

Estimation abilities of large numerosities in Kindergartners

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2013
The approximate number system (ANS) is thought to be a building block for the elaboration of formal mathematics. However, little is known about how this core system develops and if it can be influenced by external factors at a young age (before the child

Approximate Number Processing Skills Contribute to Decision Making Under Objective Risk: Interactions With Executive Functions and Objective Numeracy

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Research on the cognitive abilities involved in decision making has shown that, under objective risk conditions (i.e., when explicit information about possible outcomes and risks is available), superior decisions are especially predicted by executive ...

Developmental changes in numerosity and area perception in school-age children

open access: yesActa Psychologica
Humans can quickly estimate the quantity of objects in their environment through the Approximate Number System (ANS). However, the developmental trajectories of numerical and spatial perception in school-aged children are not well understood.
