Estimation as analogy-making: Evidence that preschoolers’ analogical reasoning ability predicts their numerical estimation

2020-11-19

Abstract excerpt

<p>All humans and many animals can represent approximate quantities of perceptual objects nonlinguistically by using the Approximate Number System (Dehaene, 1997/2011). Early in life, children in numerate societies also learn to describe this system using number words. How do linguistic representations of number become related to nonlinguistic representations of number? We hypothesize that the analogical process o...
