Journal ArticleDOI
The construction of large number representations in adults
TL;DR: These findings suggest that modality-specific stimulus properties undergo a non-iterative transformation into representations of quantity that are independent of the modality or format of the stimulus.
Journal ArticleDOI
The development of numerical estimation: evidence against a representational shift
Hilary Barth,Annie Paladino +1 more
TL;DR: This work demonstrates that proportion-judgment models provide a unified account of estimation patterns that have previously been explained in terms of a developmental shift from logarithmic to linear representations of number.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abstract number and arithmetic in preschool children
TL;DR: It is shown that preschool children can compare and add large sets of elements without counting, both within a single visual-spatial modality (arrays of dots) and across two modalities and formats (dot arrays and tone sequences).
Journal ArticleDOI
Non-symbolic arithmetic in adults and young children.
Hilary Barth,Kristen La Mont,Jennifer S. Lipton,Stanislas Dehaene,Nancy Kanwisher,Elizabeth S. Spelke +5 more
TL;DR: Both adults and children with no training in arithmetic successfully performed approximate arithmetic on large sets of elements and these non-symbolic numerical representations may provide a foundation for formal mathematics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developmental change in numerical estimation.
TL;DR: The proportional account explained estimation patterns better than the logarithmic-to-linear-shift account for all age groups, at both group and individual levels, and contribute to the understanding of the nature and development of the mental representation of number.
