Non-verbal numerical cognition: from reals to integers.
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-verbal counting process represents discrete (countable) quantities by means of magnitudes with scalar variability, which appear to be identical to the magnitudes that represent continuous (uncountable), such as duration.
Non-Verbal Numerical Cognition: From the Reals to the Integers
TL;DR: The primitive machinery for arithmetic processing works with real numbers (magnitudes), and the magnitudes representing both countable and uncountable quantity are arithmetically combined in the computation of the income to be expected from a foraging patch.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nonverbal Counting in Humans: The Psychophysics of Number Representation
TL;DR: The results support the hypothesis that adult humans share with nonverbal animals a system for representing number by magnitudes that have scalar variability (a constant coefficient of variation) and provide a formal model of the underlying nonverbal meaning of the symbols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Number sense in human infants.
TL;DR: Four experiments used a preferential looking method to investigate 6-month-old infants' capacity to represent numerosity in visual-spatial displays and provide evidence that infants have robust abilities to represent large numerosities.

TL;DR: I am indebted to Professor Lighthill for some further illuminating remarks regarding this point and his comments on Heisenberg's Theory of Isotropic Turbulence are highly illuminating.
