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 …

Leibovich et al.'s theory neither accounts for the deep connections between whole numbers
and other classes of number nor provides a potential mechanism for map** continuous …

Visual displays of objects include information about number and other magnitudes such as
cumulative surface area. Despite the confluence of cues, a prevalent view is that number is …

Humans are thought to use the approximate number system (ANS) to make quick
approximations based on quantity even before learning to count. However, there has long …

Research indicates that the neurocognitive system representing nonsymbolic numerical
magnitudes is foundational for the development of mathematical competence. However …

Nonverbal numerical ability supports individuals' numerical information processing in
everyday life and is also correlated with their learning of mathematics. This ability is typically …

Human and nonhuman animals have a remarkable capacity to rapidly estimate the quantity
of objects in the environment. The dominant view of this ability posits an abstract numerosity …

Non-numeric stimulus features frequently influence observers' number judgments: when
judging the number of items in a display, we will often (mis) perceive the set with a larger …

Introduction: Number sense has been systematically measured using dot comparison tasks.
However, recent studies have reported that performance on dot comparison might be …

The extent to which the approximate number sense is based on the estimation of continuous
visual properties has been widely discussed. Some investigators have hypothesized that …
