摘要：

数学能力是人类重要的高级认知能力。人类的基本数学能力从进化上而言是一种适应性的表现, 对个体的生存和繁衍有重要的意义。近年来比较心理学研究发现, 成年人、婴儿的基本数学能力的行为表现和脑神经机制与其它物种相似, 分子遗传学研究表明基本数学能力具有一定的遗传性。这些发现有助于人们更深刻地理解基本数学能力的本质及发生发展机制。

Abstract:

Mathematics ability is one of key advanced cognitive functions in human beings. Previous research provided numerous evidences in the evolutionary studies about mathematics ability, which is adaptively significance of the survival and reproduction of organisms. In recent years, the findings of comparative psychology have revealed that behavioral performance and brain physiological mechanism of primitive mathematics abilities of nonhuman animals are parallel to those of adults and infants in human. Furthermore, studies of molecular genetics also show that mathematics ability is hereditary. These findings provide further understandings on the nature and inherent developing mechanism of this capacity in human beings.
