In this review, we are pitting two theories against each other: the more accepted theory, the
number sense theory, suggesting that a sense of number is innate and non-symbolic …

Incoming sensory input provides information for the planning and execution of actions,
which yield motor outcomes that are themselves sensory inputs. One dimension where …

What do infants know? How does the knowledge that they begin with prepare them for
learning about the particular physical, cultural, and social world in which they live? Answers …

On a now orthodox view, humans and many other animals possess a “number sense,” or
approximate number system (ANS), that represents number. Recently, this orthodox view …

The perceptual consequences of eye movements are manifold: Each large saccade is
accompanied by a drop of sensitivity to luminance-contrast, low-frequency stimuli, impacting …

It is currently debated whether numbers are processed using a number-specific system or a
general magnitude processing system, also used for non-numerical magnitudes such as …

It is now clear that most animals, including humans, possess an ability to rapidly estimate
number. Some have questioned whether this ability arises from dedicated numerosity …

Recent studies have demonstrated that the numerosity of visually presented dot arrays is
represented in low-level visual cortex extremely early in latency. However, whether or not …

While parietal cortex is thought to be critical for representing numerical magnitudes, we
recently reported an event-related potential (ERP) study demonstrating selective neural …

Human early visual cortex response amplitudes monotonically increase with numerosity
(object number), regardless of object size and spacing. However, numerosity is typically …
