Abstract

This paper reviews the research conducted on early numerical competencies. First, the debate between defenders and detractors of babies numerical competences is presented, taking especially into account research on quantity discrimination and non-symbolic arithmetical skills. Second, we make a short review of subitizing skills, stressing the change from perceptual to conceptual patterns. And third, we focus on counting, emphasizing recent and outstanding research on children´s capacity to distinguish essential counting aspects (logical rules) from
nonessential ones (conventional rules).
