Sex differences in intrinsic aptitude for mathematics and science?: a critical review. (2005, background): “of their language: English-learning infants distinguish singular from plural, for example, by 20 months of age ( Kouider, Halberda, Wood & Carey, in press ).”
Dependent plurals and plural meaning (2008, background): “Singular DPs were discussed, revealing that not only do quantified singulars fail to give rise to dependent readings, but that singulars can act as interveners, blocking (25)A somewhat different result was achieved in a preferential looking study by Kouider et al.

One, two, three, four, nothing more: an investigation of the conceptual sources of the verbal counting principles.
