Set representations required for the acquisition of the “natural number” concept
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 31 (6):655-656 (2008)
Abstract
Rips et al. consider whether representations of individual objects or analog magnitudes are building blocks for the concept natural number. We argue for a third core capacity – the ability to bind representations of individuals into sets. However, even with this addition to the list of starting materials, we agree that a significant acquisition story is needed to capture natural numberAuthor's Profile
