In the case of numbers, it was previously suggested that this process is grounded on two early pre-verbal systems for numerical quantification: the approximate number system (ANS or &#8216;analogue magnitude&#8217;), and the object tracking system (OTS or &#8216;parallel individuation&#8217;), which children are equipped with before symbolic learning. Each system is based on dedicated neural circuits, characterized by specific computational limits, and each undergoes a separate developmental trajectory. Here, I review the available cognitive and neuroscientific data and argue that the available evidence is more consistent with a crucial role for the ANS, rather than for the OTS, in the acquisition of abstract numerical concepts that are uniquely human.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The same topic is of course discussed at length in Susan Carey&#8217;s recent major book <em>The origin of concepts<\/em> [1].<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n\n\n[1] Carey S.
