How not to develop a sense of number

Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2017
AbstractThe authors rightly point to the theoretical importance of interactions of space and number through the life span, yet propose a theory with several weaknesses. In addition to proclaiming itself unfalsifiable, its stage-like format and emphasis on the role of selective attention are at odds with what is known about the development of spatial ...

The Number of Senses

Erkenntnis, 2003
Many philosophers still countenance senses or meanings in the broadly Fregean vein. However, it is difficult to posit the existence of senses without positing quite a lot of them, including at least one presenting every entity in existence. I discuss a number of Cantorian paradoxes that seem to result from an overly large metaphysics of senses, and ...

Number sense in human infants

Developmental Science, 2004
Four experiments used a preferential looking method to investigate 6-month-old infants' capacity to represent numerosity in visual-spatial displays. Building on previous findings that such infants discriminate between arrays of eight versus 16 discs, but not eight versus 12 discs (Xu & Spelke, 2000), Experiments 1 and 2 investigated whether infants ...

The origins of number sense: a commentary on “Is there an innate sense of number in the brain?”

Cerebral Cortex
Abstract The question of whether a “sense of number” is innate has been posed in a new article by Lorenzi et al. (2025). The article explores the behavioral and neurobiological evidence from newborn animals to delve into the evolutionary origins of a sense of number.

Number Sense on the Number Line

Intervention in School and Clinic, 2017
A strong foundation in early number concepts is critical for students’ future success in mathematics. Research suggests that visual representations, like a number line, support students’ development of number sense by helping them create a mental representation of the order and magnitude of numbers.

Origins of Number Sense

Psychological Science, 2003
Four experiments investigated infants' sensitivity to large, approximate numerosities in auditory sequences. Prior studies provided evidence that 6-month-old infants discriminate large numerosities that differ by a ratio of 2.0, but not 1.5, when presented with arrays of visual forms in which many continuous variables are controlled.

Making sense of nurse numbers

Nursing Older People, 2004
The RCN's survey of care home staff (page four) echoes the almost constant concerns in the mainstream and professional press about the shortage of nurses. However, a careful look behind the doom and gloom headlines is required to understand how many nurses and other health and social care workers we are likely to need to meet the needs of older people ...

Précis of The Number Sense

Mind & Language, 2001
‘Number sense’ is a short‐hand for our ability to quickly understand, approximate, and manipulate numerical quantities. My hypothesis is that number sense rests on cerebral circuits that have evolved specifically for the purpose of representing basic arithmetic knowledge. Four lines of evidence suggesting that number sense constitutes a domain‐specific,
