How do we understand numbers? Do animals and babies have numerical
abilities? Why do some people fail to grasp numbers, and how we can
improve numerical understanding? Numbers are vital to so many areas
of life: in science, economics, sports, education, and many aspects
of everyday life from infancy onwards. Numerical cognition is a
vibrant area that brings together scientists from different and
diverse research areas (e.g., neuropsychology, cognitive
psychology, developmental psychology, comparative psychology,
anthropology, education, and neuroscience) using different
methodological approaches (e.g., behavioral studies of healthy
children and adults and of patients; electrophysiology and brain
imaging studies in humans; single-cell neurophysiology in non-human
primates, habituation studies in human infants and animals, and
computer modeling). While the study of numerical cognition had been
relatively neglected for a long time, during the last decade there
has been an explosion of studies and new findings. This has
resulted in an enormous advance in our understanding of the neural
and cognitive mechanisms of numerical cognition. In addition, there
has recently been increasing interest and concern about pupils'
mathematical achievement in many countries, resulting in attempts
to use research to guide mathematics instruction in schools, and to
develop interventions for children with mathematical difficulties.
This handbook brings together the different research areas that
make up the field of numerical cognition in one comprehensive and
authoritative volume. The chapters provide a broad and extensive
review that is written in an accessible form for scholars and
students, as well as educationalists, clinicians, and policy
makers. The book covers the most important aspects of research on
numerical cognition from the areas of development psychology,
cognitive psychology, neuropsychology and rehabilitation, learning
disabilities, human and animal cognition and neuroscience,
computational modeling, education and individual differences, and
philosophy. Containing more than 60 chapters by leading specialists
in their fields, the Oxford Handbook of Numerical Cognition is a
state-of-the-art review of the current literature.
