In a recent article, Giles et al. (2018) stated that “Piaget proposed that sensorimotor interactions with the environment underpin the development of cognitive representations, including our understanding of number” (p. 1335). They went on to argue for a specific causal connection between the development of interceptive-timing ability and arithmetic. Here, I argue that their study provides no convincing evidence for such a causal interpretation.

注意（推论）差距：Giles 等。(2018) 没有提供令人信服的证据证明拦截计时能力和算术成绩之间存在因果关系

在最近的一篇文章中，Giles 等人。(2018) 指出，“皮亚杰提出，与环境的感觉运动相互作用是认知表征发展的基础，包括我们对数字的理解”（第 1335 页）。他们继续争论拦截计时能力的发展与算术之间存在特定的因果关系。在这里，我认为他们的研究没有为这种因果解释提供令人信服的证据。
