Premature birth is associated with a high risk of damage in the parietal cortex, a key area for numerical and non-numerical magnitude perception and mathematical reasoning. Children born preterm have higher rates of learning difficulties for school mathematics. In this study, we investigated how preterm newborns (born at 28-34 weeks of gestation age) and full-term newborns respond to visual numerosity after habituation to auditory stimuli of different numerosities. The results show that the two groups have a similar preferential looking response to visual numerosity, both preferring the incongruent set after crossmodal habituation. These results suggest that the numerosity system is resistant to prematurity.

早产儿典型的跨模态数量感知。


早产与顶叶皮层受损的高风险有关，顶叶皮层是数字和非数字幅度感知和数学推理的关键区域。早产儿在学校数学学习上遇到困难的比例更高。在这项研究中，我们调查了早产儿（胎龄 28-34 周出生）和足月新生儿在习惯了不同数字的听觉刺激后对视觉数字的反应。结果表明，两组人对视觉数量有相似的偏好观看反应，在跨模式习惯化后都更喜欢不一致的集合。这些结果表明，数字系统能够抵抗早熟。
