Developmental Neuroscience: Babies Can Communicate with Numbers Before Talking

Developmental Neuroscience: Babies Can Communicate with Numbers Before Talking: "Human infants are born with an innate mathematical ability that allows them to count large numbers of objects more easily than groups of two or three."
