True Numerical Cognition in the Wild. [PDF]
Psychol Sci, 2017 Cognitive and neural research over the past few decades has produced sophisticated models of the representations and algorithms underlying numerical reasoning in humans and other animals. These models make precise predictions for how humans and other animals should behave when faced with quantitative decisions, yet primarily have been tested only in ...

Commentary: From 'sense of number' to 'sense of magnitude' - The role of continuous magnitudes in numerical cognition. [PDF]
Front Psychol, 2016 Unlike abstract ones in mathematics, concrete sets of elements in the real world have continuous physical properties, such as overall area and density. The dominant view has it that humans can estimate the discrete numerosities of such sets independently

Parietal functional connectivity in numerical cognition. [PDF]
Cereb Cortex, 2013 The parietal cortex is central to numerical cognition. The right parietal region is primarily involved in basic quantity processing, while the left parietal region is additionally involved in precise number processing and numerical operations. Little is known about how the 2 regions interact during numerical cognition.

A sensorimotor perspective on numerical cognition [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 Numbers are present in every part of modern society and the human capacity to use numbers is unparalleled in other species. Understanding the mental and neural representations supporting this capacity is of central interest to cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and education.

Semantic cognition versus numerical cognition: a topographical perspective
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2023 Semantic cognition and numerical cognition are dissociable faculties with separable neural mechanisms. However, recent advances in the cortical topography of the temporal and parietal lobes have revealed a common organisational principle for the neural representations of semantics and numbers.

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022 Predictions begin with an extrapolation of the properties of their underlying representations to forecast a future state not presently in evidence. For numerical predictions, sets of numbers are summarized and the result forms the basis of and constrains

Animals, 2022 A key signature of small-number processing is the difficulty in discriminating between three and four objects, as reported in infants and animals. Five-day-old chicks overcome this limit if individually distinctive features characterize each object.
