Dr Melissa Libertus, who led the study, said: "Previous studies testing older children left open the possibility that maths lessons determined number sense."

领导这项研究的蒙丽莎•里伯途斯说：“先前针对年纪更大的孩子做的研究让人们认为数学训练更有可能决定数字感。”

Past research has associated number sense with math ability in older children, but the Libertus and her team´s study involved 200 younger children with an average age of 4.

早前的研究对象是年龄较大儿童的数学能力与数觉的关系，但里柏图斯的研究团队对象则是200名平均年龄仅4岁的低龄儿童。
