Development of Mathematical Understanding. (2007, background): “…infants can discriminate visually and auditorily presented sets of larger quantities from smaller quantities, but only if the number of items in the larger set is double that in the smaller set (e.g., 16 versus 8; Brannon, Abbott , & Lutz, 2004; Lipton & Spelke, 2003; Xu & Spelke, 2000).”
Number sense in children with visuospatial disabilities: Orientation of the mental number line (2005, background): “For larger numerosities, the numerical distance between the to-be-compared sets needs to be larger in order to be discriminable (Xu & Spelke, 2000).”
Investigating Math Word Problems using Pretrained Multilingual Language Models (2021, background): “First, in cognitive science, people have long studied the relationship between humans’ numerical processing abilities and language abilities, and found that on the one hand, the two are largely independent (Xu and Spelke, 2000), but on the other hand, “acquiring and mastering symbolic representation”
Evolutionary and developmental foundations of human knowledge: A case study of mathematics (2004, background): “Infants looked longer at the arrays presenting the change in numerosity, thereby providing evidence for numerosity discrimination (Brannon, 2002; Xu & Spelke, 2000 );”
No Innate Number Line in the Human Brain (2011, background): “…amount of data in a variety of overlapping fields such as child development (Antell & Keating, 1983; Gallistel & Gelman, 1992; Wynn, 1992; Xu & Spelke, 2000), cross-cultural studies (Dehaene, Izard, Spelke, & Pica, 2008a, 2008b; Gordon, 2004; Pica, Lemer, Izard, & Dehaene, 2004; Wassmann…”
The Development of Numerical Estimation (2003, background): “Similar distance effects are shown by infants in habituation experiments and by a variety of nonhuman animals in conditioning paradigms designed to parallel numerical estimation (Washburn & Rumbaugh, 1991; Xu & Spelke, 2000).”
Arithmetic and the brain. (2004, neutral): “For instance, six-month-old infants can discriminate visual numerosities as large as 8 versus 16 with the characteristic signature of Weber’s law [54,55 ].”
Do humans have two systems to track beliefs and belief-like states? (2009, neutral): “, Xu & Spelke , 2000 ) , and keep track of the number of items in a small set of objects following additions or subtractions ( e . g .”
One, two, three, four, nothing more: an investigation of the conceptual sources of the verbal counting principles. (2007, positive): “…on the other hand, are ratio-limited (e.g. 6 month-olds can only discriminate sets on the basis of number if their ratio is at least 2:1; Xu & Spelke, 2000; Xu, Spelke, & Goddard, 2005), and thus obscure the successor function (e.g. the 6-month-old’s system cannot discriminate 5 from 6).”
Numerical development: current issues and future perspectives (2005, background): “…two decades, there has been increasing interest in studying preverbal children (some examples of infant habituation studies: Bijeljac-Babic, Bertoncini, & Mehler, 1993; Carey & Xu, 2001; Köchlin, Dehaene, & Mehler, 1998; Wynn, 1996; Xu & Spelke, 2000) and even neonates (Antell & Keating, 1983).”
Elephant cognition in primate perspective (2009, result): “…respectively, in striking contrast to the performance of great apes and even human infants in similar relative quantity judgement tests (see Anderson , Stoinski, Bloomsmith, & Maple, 2007; Beran, 2001; Boysen, Bernston, & Mukobi, 2001; Feigenson, Carey, & Hauser, 2002; Xu & Spelke, 2000).”
