Numbers and numerosities: Absence of abstract neural realization doesn't mean non-abstraction
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 32 (3-4):344-344 (2009)
Abstract
The neural realization of number in abstract form is implausible, but from this it doesn't follow that numbers are not abstract. Clear definitions of abstraction are needed so they can be applied homogenously to numerical and non-numerical cognition. To achieve a better understanding of the neural substrate of abstraction, productive cognition must be investigatedOther Versions
