In this conversation, Silke Goebel, a professor at the University of York, discusses her research on number processing in children, the cognitive and cultural aspects of numerical cognition, and the influence of language on learning mathematics. She explores how numbers are represented in the brain, the concept of subitizing, and the challenges posed by different number systems across cultures. The discussion also touches on the impact of bilingualism and reading direction on numerical understanding, as well as practical takeaways for teachers and parents to support children's mathematical development.
