Drawing on critically oriented principles, we invite policymakers and practitioners to extend traditional commitments to bridging the gap between research and policy and practice. To achieve this goal, we move beyond hegemonic norms that privilege traditional forms of research and instead adopt a more inclusive and expansive emphasis on knowledge.…

Four-month-old infants extract ordinal information in number-based and size-based visual sequences, provided that magnitude changes involve increasing relations.
