Abstract
Evidence is presented that young human infants possess a system of numerical knowledge that consists of a mechanism for determining and representing small numbers of entities, as well as procedures for operating over these representations so as to extract information of the numerical relationships between them. A model for this mechanism is presented, and its relation to the development of further numerical knowledge is discussed.
