Abstract

The fascinating results of Lorenzi et al. (2025) suggest that the number sense is innate. Many readers might find this conclusion disturbing. Here, I explore the deep cognitive origins of this sentiment. Empiricism, I suggest, is deeply grounded in human nature. This conclusion obviously does not license us to assume that knowledge is innate, but it does suggest caution against heeding our skeptical gut reaction.

期刊介绍： Cerebral Cortex publishes papers on the development, organization, plasticity, and function of the cerebral cortex, including the hippocampus. Studies with clear relevance to the cerebral cortex, such as the thalamocortical relationship or cortico-subcortical interactions, are also included. The journal is multidisciplinary and covers the large variety of modern neurobiological and neuropsychological techniques, including anatomy, biochemistry, molecular neurobiology, electrophysiology, behavior, artificial intelligence, and theoretical modeling. In addition to research articles, special features such as brief reviews, book reviews, and commentaries are included.
