Large Number Discrimination in 6-Month-Old Infants.
Xu, Fei; Spelke, Elizabeth S.
Cognition, v74 n1 pB1-B11 Jan 10, 2000
Two experiments examined 6-month-olds' ability to discriminate between visual displays of various number of dots varying in size and position, and with controls for other extraneous variables. Findings indicated that infants could discriminate between large sets on the basis of numerosity if they differed by a large ratio (8 versus 16, but not 8 versus 12). (Author/KB)
