Abstract

During the last decade an increasing number of studies has shown that numerical abilities of nonhuman animals are not confined to mammals and birds. Free choice tests and studies using operant conditioning techniques have shown that lower vertebrates, such as fish, can also use both continuous quantities that covary with numbers (ie, cumulative surface area and overall space occupied by the sets) and numerical information, although they seem to use primarily continuous quantities when both types of information are available.
