Their performance provides evidence for abstract numerical representations at the start of postnatal experience.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Do abstract numerical concepts depend on language or culture, or do they form a part of humans&#8217; innate, core knowledge?&#8221; ask V\u00e9ronique Izard, Coralie Sann, Elizabeth Spelke and Arlette Streri in &#8220;Newborn infants perceive abstract numbers&#8221; (PNAS June 23, 2009 vol. 106 no. 25 10382-10385).
