Newborn chicks need no number tricks. Commentary: Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans' mental number line
Citation: Shaki S and Fischer MH (2015) Newborn chicks need no number tricks. Commentary: Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans' mental number line. The study of numerical ordering abilities in chicks recently reported by Rugani et al. (2015) concluded that " similarly to humans, chicks associate smaller numbers with the left space and larger numbers with the right space. "...

concepts of “less” and “more,” it would be more efficient to re-use the system already in place for processing space (Holmes and Lourenco, 2011). Considering numerical processing as an exaptation (Gould and Vrba, 1982) of spatial processing could explain the functional link between these two systems. An important caveat to these hypotheses is that one-to-one homologies between avian and mammali...
متن کاملANIMAL COGNITION. Response to Comments on "Number-space mapping in the newborn chick resembles humans' mental number line".
Mangalam and Karve raise concerns on whether our results demonstrate a mental number line, suggesting auxiliary experiments. Further data analyses show that their methodological concerns are not founded. Harshaw suggests that a side bias could have affected our results. We show that this concern is also unfounded.
متن کاملLarge Number Discrimination in Newborn Fish
Quantitative abilities have been reported in a wide range of species, including fish. Recent studies have shown that adult guppies (Poecilia reticulata) can spontaneously select the larger number of conspecifics. In particular the evidence collected in literature suggest the existence of two distinct systems of number representation: a precise system up to 4 units, and an approximate system for...
متن کاملCalibrating the mental number line.
Human adults are thought to possess two dissociable systems to represent numbers: an approximate quantity system akin to a mental number line, and a verbal system capable of representing numbers exactly. Here, we study the interface between these two systems using an estimation task. Observers were asked to estimate the approximate numerosity of dot arrays. We show that, in the absence of calib...
