Journal ArticleDOI
Universal and uniquely human factors in spontaneous number perception
TL;DR: It is concluded that humans universally and spontaneously extract numerical information, and that human nonverbal numerical perception is enhanced by symbolic numeracy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recursive sequence generation in monkeys, children, U.S. adults, and native Amazonians
TL;DR: This work uses a nonlinguistic sequence generation task to test whether subjects generalize sequential groupings of items to a center-embedded, recursive structure and quantifies patterns using a Bayesian mixture model over logically possible strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
A metacognitive illusion in monkeys.
TL;DR: It is found that monkeys' wagers were affected by perceptual fluency even when their accuracy was not, novel evidence that animals are susceptible to metacognitive illusions similar to those experienced by humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Origins of Counting Algorithms
TL;DR: It is reported that nonhuman primates exhibit a cognitive ability that is algorithmically and logically similar to human counting, and this proto-counting algorithm is structurally similar to formal counting in humans and thus may have been an important evolutionary precursor to human count.
