Numerical cognition in bees and other insects. [PDF]

Front Psychol, 2013
The ability to perceive the number of objects has been known to exist in vertebrates for a few decades, but recent behavioral investigations have demonstrated that several invertebrate species can also be placed on the continuum of numerical abilities shared with birds, mammals, and reptiles.

How Does the Accuracy of Children’s Number Representations Influence the Accuracy of Their Numerical Predictions?

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

Processing Individually Distinctive Schematic-Faces Supports Proto-Arithmetical Counting in the Young Domestic Chicken

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.

Developmental specialization of the left parietal cortex for the semantic representation of Arabic numerals: An fMR-adaptation study

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2015
The way the human brain constructs representations of numerical symbols is poorly understood. While increasing evidence from neuroimaging studies has indicated that the intraparietal sulcus (IPS) becomes increasingly specialized for symbolic numerical ...

The neural association between arithmetic and basic numerical processing depends on arithmetic problem size and not chronological age

Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2019
The intraparietal sulcus (IPS) is thought to be an important region for basic number processing (e.g. symbol-quantity associations) and arithmetic (e.g. addition).

Extracting Summary Statistics of Rapid Numerical Sequences

Frontiers in Psychology, 2021
We examine the ability of observers to extract summary statistics (such as the mean and the relative-variance) from rapid numerical sequences of two digit numbers presented at a rate of 4/s.

Dyscalculia and dyslexia: Different behavioral, yet similar brain activity profiles during arithmetic

NeuroImage: Clinical, 2018
Brain disorders are often investigated in isolation, but very different conclusions might be reached when studies directly contrast multiple disorders.

Are Approximate Number System Representations Numerical?

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
Previous research suggests that the Approximate Number System (ANS) allows people to approximate the cardinality of a set. This ability to discern numerical quantities may explain how meaning becomes associated with number symbols.

How Memory Counts in Mathematical Development

Journal of Cognition, 2023
Memory has been well-established as a predictor of mathematics achievement in child development. Nevertheless, empirical evidence remains elusive on the unique role of the different forms of memory and their specific mechanisms as predictors of ...
