A group of Neuro scientists cognitive has demonstrated that the babies make a numerical abstract sense that allows them to relate the number of voices thathear with a certain number of faces. According to an equipment of investigators of Duke's American university, this implies that the babies have numerical concepts "incorporated" in his brains, evenbefore they learn to speak. This discovery reinforces the idea of that exists a formal system of numerical representation in the infantile phase that is before the language.
According to the makers ofthis investigation, this discovery supposes that the babies have numerical concepts "incorporated" in his brains, even before they learn to speak. The investigation suggests that already to sevenmonths the babies possess an abstract sense of certain numerical concepts, at least of "two" and of "three" .Elizabeth Brannon, teacher of the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and of the Department ofPsychological and Brain Sciences of the above mentioned university, Together with his PhD student Kerry Jordan, they analyzed to small of seven months, who demonstrated skill to relate the number ofvoices to that they listened with the number of faces that they were expecting to see. The study was realized by 20 babies who listened on the one hand to two women simultaneously to say the word "it""looks" and separately to a group of three women repeating the same word. At the same time, the babies could choose between images or video. The investigators observed that the babies passedsignificantly more time observing the image of video that comparing the number of women that he was speaking, which has allowed to conclude that the babies show an internal representation of ' two ' or...
