Abstract
In the paper we present some of the recent findings in the field of numerical processing and brain mechanisms underlying these processes. Quantity estimation and comparison represent the basics of numerical processing. We present this system more in details as this core quantity system is well recognized in infants as well as in some animal species. Core quantity system which is also called mathematical intuition, can be extended by a more complex, arithmetic processing, which is also presented within the article. Understanding the brain mechanisms which underlay numerical processing can help us understand and develop mathematical competence, which represents one of the key cognitive abilities that is acquired through formal schooling.

Summary
Tina Bregant* Klinični oddelek za otroško, mladostniško in razvojno nevrologijo, Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana. Povzetek: V prispevku predstavimo nekaj novejših spoznanj s področja numerične kognicije in nevrokognitivnih osnov numeričnega procesiranja. Osnovo numerične kognicije predstavlja prepoznava in primerjava količin. Ker je ta sistem prepoznaven tako pri dojenčkih kot nekaterih živalskih vrstah, ga podrobneje predstavimo. Osnovni sistem ali matematično intuicijo lahko nadgradimo s kompleksnejšim, aritmetičnim procesiranjem, ki ga predstavimo v luči novejših nevroznanstvenih spoznanj. Spoznanja o numeričnem procesiranju lahko pomembno prispevajo k razumevanju matematičnih kompetenc v različnih obdobjih otrokovega razvoja ter tako prispevajo h kakovosti poučevanja matematike ter usvajanju matematičnih znanj in veščin. Ključne besede: numerično procesiranje, štetje, matematične sposobnosti, možgani, razvoj otroka
