The findings suggest that these stages of number-learning are a necessary part of
the process of building number concepts, says Barbara Sarnecka, an associate professor
of cognitive sciences at the University of California, Irvine who was not part of
the research team. “Basically, everyone seems to follow the same path to number knowledge,

in a farming and foraging society in Bolivia. That tells us a lot about how number
concepts are built in the mind,” she says.
