In our target article, we argued that the number sense represents natural and rational numbers. Here, we respond to the 26 commentaries we received, highlighting new directions for empirical and theoretical research. We discuss two background assumptions, arguments against the number sense, whether the approximate number system (ANS) represents numbers or numerosities, and why the ANS represents rational (but not irrational) numbers.
在我们的专题文章中,我们认为数感代表着自然数和有理数。在这里,我们对收到的 26 条评论进行了回应,强调了实证和理论研究的新方向。我们讨论了两个背景假设、反对数感的论点、近似数量系统 (ANS) 是否代表数字或数量,以及为什么 ANS 代表有理数(而不是无理数)。
