Making Sense of the Relation Between Number Sense and Math [PDF]
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2021 While several studies have shown that the performance on numerosity comparison tasks is related to individual differences in math abilities, others have failed to find such a link.

Effects of Visual Training of Approximate Number Sense on Auditory Number Sense and School Math Ability [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 Research with children and adults suggests that people’s math performance is predicted by individual differences in an evolutionarily ancient ability to estimate and compare numerical quantities without counting (the approximate number system or ANS ...

Evidence for an A-Modal Number Sense: Numerosity Adaptation Generalizes Across Visual, Auditory, and Tactile Stimuli [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2021 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 of objects: an Approximate Number System (ANS).

Innate or Acquired? – Disentangling Number Sense and Early Number Competencies [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2018 The clinical profile termed developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a fundamental disability affecting children already prior to arithmetic schooling, but the formal diagnosis is often only made during school years.

Predicting Math Ability Using Working Memory, Number Sense, and Neurophysiology in Children and Adults [PDF]
Brain Sciences, 2022 Previous work has shown relations between domain-general processes, domain-specific processes, and mathematical ability. However, the underlying neurophysiological effects of mathematical ability are less clear.

Psychophysical evidence for the number sense. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2017 It is now clear that most animals, including humans, possess an ability to rapidly estimate number. Some have questioned whether this ability arises from dedicated numerosity mechanisms, or is derived indirectly from judgements of density or other attributes. We describe a series of psychophysical experiments, largely using adaptation techniques, which
