Numerosity sense correlates with fluent mathematical abilities

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2022
Although a great deal of research has shown a relationship between numerosity sense and mathematical ability, some studies have failed to do so. The main source of this inconsistency could be the varied ways of measuring mathematical abilities.

Sequential presentation protects working memory from catastrophic interference [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Neural network models of memory are notorious for catastrophic interference: old items are forgotten as new items are memorized (e.g., French, 1999; McCloskey & Cohen, 1989).

Aging and Numerosity Estimation [PDF]

open access: yesThe Journals of Gerontology: Series B, 2007
Abstract In two experiments, young and older participants were asked to find the approximate number of dots in collections including between 40 and 460 dots. Experiment 1 showed that both age groups had comparable performance and no age-related differences in the power-function exponents for numerosity.

Visual sense of number vs. sense of magnitude in humans and machines

open access: yesScientific 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 ...

The role of visual information in numerosity estimation.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
Mainstream theory suggests that the approximate number system supports our non-symbolic number abilities (e.g. estimating or comparing different sets of items).

Math difficulties in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder do not originate from the visual number sense

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
There is ample evidence from literature and clinical practice indicating mathematical difficulties in individuals with ADHD, even when there is no concomitant diagnosis of developmental dyscalculia.

Stages of nonsymbolic number processing in occipitoparietal cortex disentangled by fMRI adaptation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The neurobiological mechanisms of nonsymbolic number processing in humans are still unclear. Computational modeling proposed three successive stages: first, the spatial location of objects is stored in an object location map; second, this information is ...

Single judgments of numerosity [PDF]

open access: yesPerception & Psychophysics, 1982
In previous studies, subjects generally underestimated the number of elements present in a display. To eliminate the range and intertrial effects that arise when several displays are judged in succession and that might have produced the underestimation, subjects in the present study judged only a single display.

Visual P2p component responds to perceived numerosity

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Numerosity perception is a key ability for human and non-human species, probably mediated by dedicated brain mechanisms. Electrophysiological studies revealed the existence of both early and mid-latency components of the Electrophysiological (EEG) signal
