Research shows that humans and infants possess innate numerical senses distinct from symbolic number systems.

Humans struggle to compare larger numbers or numbers close in value, showing a bias toward quicker recognition of larger numerical gaps. This reflects how our brains spatially organize and perceive numerical sequences.
