In the former case, we can make an approx imation of the quantity of elements and compare th em. In the latter case, a set of conventions can b e learnt to represent the cardinality (e.g., Arabi c digits, number words, Roman numerals etc. such a s ‘7’ or ’seven’) or a relationship between cardin alities (e.g., quantifiers such as ’many’, ’few’). At this meeting, I will start by giving an overvi ew of the vast amount of research that has been co nducted to investigate neural processes underpinni ng representation and comparison of cardinality of nonsymbolic arrays and number symbols. I will the n try to relate this to the research that has been done on quantifiers as another way to symbolicall y refer to (relationships between) quantities.

Humans can per ceive, represent and compare quantities that are p resented nonsymbolically (e.g., as arrays of objec ts visually or as a series of tones aurally), as w ell as quantities that are presented using arbitra ry symbols and natural language. In the former cas e, we can make an approximation of the quantity of elements and compare them. In the latter case, a set of conventions can be learnt to represent the cardinality (e.g., Arabic digits, number words, Ro man numerals etc. such as ‘7’ or ’seven’) or a rel ationship between cardinalities (e.g., quantifiers such as ’many’, ’few’). At this meeting, I will s tart by giving an overview of the vast amount of r esearch that has been conducted to investigate neu ral processes underpinning representation and comp arison of cardinality of nonsymbolic arrays and nu mber symbols. I will then try to relate this to th e research that has been done on quantifiers as an other way to symbolically refer to (relationships between) quantities. This is a project in progress , so throughout the presentation, I would like to get your feedback.
