The Development of the Approximate Number System in Humans and Monkeys
PROJECT SUMMARY Cognitive impairments in mathematics affect 3-6% of children in the United States. These impairments often involve one of the earliest emerging and foundational number abilities, the Approximate Number System. The Approximate Number System allows young children to tell more from fewer items and is thought to be crucial to the development of early mathematics abilities, such as learning the meaning of number words. However, we do not currently know the factors that contribute to the development of the Approximate Number System. The proposed research will increase our understanding of typical development of this system and has the potential to inform best early educational…
