Presenting Authors:
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
