Document Summary
A nonverbal system that deals with larger numerosities, but imprecisely (i. e. , A nonverbal system that deals with small numerosities (<4 exactly) At birth, infants can only discriminate numerosities that differ by at least a 1:3 ratio (e. g. , At 6 months of age, infants discriminate 1:2 ratio (e. g. , 8 vs 16 dots), not 2:3 ratio (8 vs. By 10 months, 2:3 ratio is possible. Importantly, these effects describe group-level patterns of behavior (not individual differences) An object is placed on a stage and covered by a screen. In both cases, look longer at the impossible event given the arithmetic operation suggesting that the object file system is doing these basic computations and the arithmetic operations system is already working. Both systems of quantification allow for abstraction (i. e. , cross-modal) and basic arithmetic computations. But major limitation: the two systems operate largely independent of one another. Recall problem with young children comparing 1 vs. 4: they couldn"t do it!
