The Approximate Number System Acuity Redefined: A Diffusion Model Approach
While all humans are capable of non-verbally representing numerical quantity using so-called the approximate number system (ANS), there exist considerable individual differences in its acuity. For example, in a non-symbolic number comparison task, some people find it easy to discriminate brief presentations of 14 dots from 16 dots while others do not. Quantifying individual ANS acuity from such...
متن کاملEducation enhances the acuity of the nonverbal approximate number system.
All humans share a universal, evolutionarily ancient approximate number system (ANS) that estimates and combines the numbers of objects in sets with ratio-limited precision. Interindividual variability in the acuity of the ANS correlates with mathematical achievement, but the causes of this correlation have never been established. We acquired psychophysical measures of ANS acuity in child and a...
متن کاملThe association between higher education and approximate number system acuity
Humans are equipped with an approximate number system (ANS) supporting non-symbolic numerosity representation. Studies indicate a relationship between ANS-precision (acuity) and math achievement. Whether the ANS is a prerequisite for learning mathematics or if mathematics education enhances the ANS remains an open question. We investigated the association between higher education and ANS acuity...
متن کاملCan approximate number system acuity improve with arithmetic training?
The relationship between approximate number system (ANS) acuity and math performance has recently received a lot of attention. It is still unclear, however, whether the ANS is a prerequisite for math performance or whether training in mathematics could improve ANS acuity. The present study investigated the extent to which mathematics training influences ANS acuity. Participants’ ANS acuity was ...
متن کاملArithmetic Training Does Not Improve Approximate Number System Acuity
The approximate number system (ANS) is thought to support non-symbolic representations of numerical magnitudes in humans. Recently much debate has focused on the causal direction for an observed relation between ANS acuity and arithmetic fluency. Here we investigate if arithmetic training can improve ANS acuity. We show with an experimental training study consisting of six 45-min training sessi...
