Abstract
Time and Number Sense Develop in Tandem?
Highlights
The last two decades have seen a marked rise in interest in what might be termed “time sense” and “number sense” and the potential relationship between them
This is paired with an overview of developmental disorders in which basic time and/or number sense appears to be impaired, and coverage of findings concerning the neural correlates of time and number representation
If these changes in acuity occur in lockstep across the two different dimensions, this would lend at least prima facie support for the existence of a common magnitude processing mechanism that is recruited during both types of discrimination task
Summary
The last two decades have seen a marked rise in interest in what might be termed “time sense” and “number sense” and the potential relationship between them (for reviews see Buhusi and Meck, 2005; Bueti and Walsh, 2009; Nieder and Dehaene, 2009). Unique to this review is its focus on the developmental trajectory of time and number sense.
