“…In the first study to show this relationship, Halberda and colleagues demonstrated that Weber fraction measured at 14 years of age retroactively predicted standardized math scores at age 5, even after controlling for verbal IQ (Halberda, Mazzocco, & Feigenson, 2008). This positive correlation has since been found in adults (Agrillo, Piffer, & Adriano, 2013; DeWind & Brannon, 2012; Halberda, Ly, Wilmer, Naiman, & Germine, 2012; Libertus, Odic, & Halberda, 2012; Lourenco, Bonny, Fernandez, & Rao, 2012); in school-aged children (Geary, Hoard, Nugent, & Rouder, 2015; Pinheiro-Chagas et al, 2014); in children just beginning formal math education (Gilmore et al, 2010; Keller & Libertus, 2015; Mundy & Gilmore, 2009); and in preschool aged children before they begin formal math education (Chu, vanMarle, & Geary, 2015; Libertus, Feigenson, & Halberda, 2011, 2013; Mazzocco, Feigenson, & Halberda, 2011b; Soto-Calvo, Simmons, Willis, & Adams, 2015; Starr, Libertus, & Brannon, 2013; van Marle, Chu, Li, & Geary, 2014). Three meta-analyses have concluded there is a significant correlation between ANS and math ability (Chen & Li, 2014; Fazio, Bailey, Thompson, & Siegler, 2014; Schneider et al, 2016).…”
