Does the number sense represent number? [PDF]
, 2020 On a now orthodox view, humans and many other animals are endowed with a “number sense”, or approximate number system (ANS), that represents number. Recently, this orthodox view has been subject to numerous critiques, with critics maintaining either that

The number sense represents (rational) numbers [PDF]
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2021 AbstractOn a now orthodox view, humans and many other animals possess a “number sense,” or approximate number system (ANS), that represents number. Recently, this orthodox view has been subject to numerous critiques that question whether the ANS genuinely represents number. We distinguish three lines of critique – the arguments fromcongruency,confounds,

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.

Revisiting and Refining Relations Between Nonsymbolic Ratio Processing and Symbolic Math Achievement
Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2021 In their 2016 Psych Science article, Matthews, Lewis and Hubbard (2016, https://doi.org/10.1177/0956797615617799) leveled a challenge against the prevailing theory that fractions—as opposed to whole numbers—are incompatible with humans’ primitive ...

A visual sense of number [PDF]
Journal of Vision, 2007 AbstractEvidence exists for a non-verbal capacity to apprehend number, in humans^1^ (including infants^2,3^) and in other primates^4-6^. Here we show that perceived numerosity is susceptible to adaptation, along with primary visual properties of a scene like colour, contrast, size and speed.

Number sense : the underpinning understanding for early quantitative literacy [PDF]
, 2012 The fundamental meaning of Quantitative Literacy (QL) as the application of quantitative knowledge or reasoning in new/unfamiliar contexts is problematic because how we acquire knowledge, and transfer it to new situations, is not straightforward.

Visual sense of number vs. sense of magnitude in humans and machines
Scientific Reports, 2020 Numerosity perception is thought to be foundational to mathematical learning, but its computational bases are strongly debated. Some investigators argue that humans are endowed with a specialized system supporting numerical representations; others argue ...
