Document Summary
Lecture 10: language and number abiliies that have been shaped by evoluion and are similar across children, number. Match temporal auditory beats to number of visual objects (spelke & gelman) Recognize magical addiions and subtracions from small number sets (wynn) Infants look longer at impossible events indicates knowledge of addiion and subtracion of objects. Infants respond to changes in number of objects but not to changes in object features. Esimate small versus large sets (mccrink & wynn) The addiion and subtracion skills demonstrated by infants with small numbers of objects: may simply represent their object-tracking abiliies rather than numerical processing. Magnitude-esimaion system helps infants discriminate between large sets of numbers: addiion group: looked at incorrect outcome longer, subtracion group: looked at incorrect outcome longer, conclusion. Infants can perform computaions of magnitudes represening large numbers. Subiizing small sets of objects (chi & klahr, 1975, experiment)
