Perception of numbers by human infants.
TL;DR: This finding indicates that some number capacity is present before the onset of verbal counting, and it suggests that verbal counting may have precursors present during infancy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancing young children’s mathematical knowledge through a pre-kindergarten mathematics intervention
TL;DR: In this paper, a pre-kindergarten mathematics intervention was developed and implemented in public and private preschools serving low and middle-income families, and mathematical knowledge of intervention and comparison children was comprehensively assessed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical abstraction by human infants.
TL;DR: These findings provide evidence that the emergence of the earliest numerical abilities does not depend upon the development of language or complex actions, or upon cultural experience with number, as well as a sensitivity to numerosity, an abstract property of collections of objects and events.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of Intermodal Numerical Correspondences by Human Infants
TL;DR: This finding indicates that infants possess a mechanism that enables them to obtain information about number.

Fostering Parental Support for Children's Mathematical Development: An Intervention with Head Start Families
Prentice Starkey,Alice Klein +1 more
TL;DR: This article conducted a bi-generation (parent and child) mathematics intervention with Head Start families to enhance parental support for pre-kindergarten children's mathematical development, and found that low-income parents were willing and able to support this area of their children's development once they were provided with the training to do so.
