Comparative Studies of Numerical Cognition in Nonhuman Primates: From Numerical Comparison to Arithmetic
… primates share an evolutionarily ancient system of nonverbal number representation. By and large, the focus in the field has been on providing existence proofs of numerical competence in wide-ranging taxa or using individual species as models for comparisons with humans. Recent findings in …

An Assessment of Number Representation in the Small-Eared Bushbaby (<i>Otolemur garnettii</i>)
… effort to explain the underlying mechanisms of number representation, both the object-file and the approximate number system have been proposed. Despite the recognition in animals, both nonhuman and human, it remains unclear how numbers are represented cognitively or what system is employed. …

DOMAIN-SPECIFIC AND DOMAIN-GENERAL INFLUENCES ON EARLY MATHEMATICAL SKILLS: A LONGITUDINAL STUDY
Two domain-specific quantity systems have been proposed; the “Precise Number System” for small precise numerical representations, and the “Approximate Number System” for imprecise numerical representations (Feigenson, Dehaene, & Spelke, 2004). The efficiency of these systems has been individually …

From Magnitudes to Math: Developmental Precursors of Quantitative Reasoning
… animals. Although humans typically think about number symbolically, we also possess nonverbal representations of quantity that are present at birth and shared with many other animal species. These primitive numerical representations are thought to arise from an evolutionarily ancient system …

Knowledge used for teaching counting: A case study of the treatment of counting by two Grade 3 teachers situated in schools serving working class communities in the Western Cape Province of South Africa
… be handled by human core domain object tracking system and approximate number system, and that an implicit reliance on numerical order derived from computations on aggregates was central to the teaching and learning of counting.
