Together with graduate and undergraduate students, the project (funded by the Spencer Foundation) investigates the development of space-number mappings in preschool children. The project aims to find out whether children who have no training in mathematics nevertheless conceptualize numerical magnitudes using vertical space. The findings will expand our understanding of language and numerical cognition in children, and will have implications for how to adapt early mathematical instruction to children's natural aptitude.
