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 …

Research on the development of self-regulation in young children provides a unifying
framework for the study of school readiness. Self-regulation abilities allow for engagement in …

A visual scene is perceived in terms of visual objects. Similar ideas have been proposed for
the analogous case of auditory scene analysis, although their hypothesized neural …

Our understanding of how the human brain performs mathematical calculations is far from
complete, but in recent years there have been many exciting breakthroughs by scientists all …

Humans and non-human primates share an elemental quantification system that resides in a
dedicated neural network in the parietal and frontal lobes. In this cortical network,'number …

Humans and other species have biologically endowed abilities for discriminating quantities.
A widely accepted view sees such abilities as an evolved capacity specific for number and …

This study examined the role of self‐regulation in emerging academic ability in one hundred
and forty‐one 3‐to 5‐year‐old children from low‐income homes. Measures of effortful …

Numerical models indicate that collective animal behavior may emerge from simple local
rules of interaction among the individuals. However, very little is known about the nature of …

Since the time of Pythagoras, numerical and spatial representations have been inextricably
linked. We suggest that the relationship between the two is deeply rooted in the brain's …

The development of sub-disciplines within cognitive neuroscience follows common sense
categories such as language, audition, action, memory, emotion and perception among …
