Proto-arithmetic abilities in zebrafish (Danio rerio)

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: 4". Limited to an overall amount of three elements in the two groups, zebrafish appeared to be able to deal with additions and subtractions, also suggesting the implicit understanding of an "empty set" (zero) concept. The velocity and the sequential/simultaneous presentation of the stimuli affected the spontaneous preference towards the group with the largest quantity.
