Visual Perception of Numerosity in Infancy.

van Loosbroek, Erik; Smitsman, Ad. W.

Developmental Psychology, v26 n6 p916-22 Nov 1990

Infants were tested at 5, 8, and 13 months of age for numerosity perception. Subjects observed displayed figures on a screen moving at constant speed with irregular trajectories and occasional occlusions. Results demonstrated that discrimination of units, and not of characteristic patterns, underlies numerosity perception. (BC)
