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 ...

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.

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,
