| Abstract: The ability to use numbers is one of the most complex cognitive abilities that humans possess and is often held up as a defining feature of the human mind. I will describe the developmental and evolutionary precursors to adult mathematical cognition. My talk will probe the relationship between the primitive number sense and symbolic math by asking whether non-symbolic computations facilitate symbolic mathematics |
| Instruction Level: Basic |
| Target Audience: ABA Practitioners |
| Learning Objectives: At the conclusion of the presentation, participants will be able to : (1) understand what is meant by the primitive number sense; (2) evaluate evidence that human infants come into the world with a primitive number sense; (3) identify ways in which human mathematics is distinct from the primitive number sense; (4) understand some ways that the primitive number sense scaffolds mathematics |
