Pepperberg, Irene M.; Carey, Susan – Cognition, 2012
A Grey parrot ("Psittacus erithacus") had previously been taught to use English count words ("one" through "sih" [six]) to label sets of one to six individual items (Pepperberg, 1994). He had also been taught to use the same count words to label the Arabic numerals 1 through 6. Without training, he inferred the relationship between the Arabic…

Sarnecka, Barbara W.; Carey, Susan – Cognition, 2008
This study compared 2- to 4-year-olds who understand how counting works ("cardinal-principle-knowers") to those who do not ("subset-knowers"), in order to better characterize the knowledge itself. New results are that (1) Many children answer the question "how many" with the last word used in counting, despite not understanding how counting works;…

Barth, Hilary; Baron, Andrew; Spelke, Elizabeth; Carey, Susan – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2009
Recent studies have documented an evolutionarily primitive, early emerging cognitive system for the mental representation of numerical quantity (the analog magnitude system). Studies with nonhuman primates, human infants, and preschoolers have shown this system to support computations of numerical ordering, addition, and subtraction involving…

Le Corre, Mathieu; Carey, Susan – Cognition, 2007
Since the publication of [Gelman, R., & Gallistel, C. R. (1978). "The child's understanding of number." Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press.] seminal work on the development of verbal counting as a representation of number, the nature of the ontogenetic sources of the verbal counting principles has been intensely debated. The present…

Wagner, Laura; Carey, Susan – Cognition, 2003
This study investigates children's ability to use language to guide their choice of individuation criterion in the domains of objects and events. Previous work (Shipley, E. F., & Shepperson, B. (1990). Countable entities: developmental changes. "Cognition," 34, 109-136.) has shown that children have a strong bias to use a spatio-temporal…

Le Corre, Mathieu; Van de Walle, Gretchen; Brannon, Elizabeth M.; Carey, Susan. – Cognitive Psychology, 2006
Advocates of the ''continuity hypothesis'' have argued that innate non-verbal counting principles guide the acquisition of the verbal count list (Gelman & Gallistel, 1978). Some studies have supported this hypothesis, but others have suggested that the counting principles must be constructed anew by each child. Defenders of the continuity…
