基本的数量能力被认为是人类与生俱来的，部分原因是辨别数量的能力在儿童发育早期就出现了。如果人类和非人类灵长类动物都有这种数量推理的原始发展基础，那么这种能力应该在不同物种的早期发展中就存在，而且猴子比人类更早出现，因为猴子比人类成熟得更快。我们报告说，猴子自发地作出准确的数量选择1岁的任务，人类儿童开始执行只有在2.5至3岁。此外，我们报告说，定量敏感性的婴儿猴子是相等的成年动物在他们的组和学习率之间没有区别的婴儿和成年动物。这一新的证据表明，幼年猴子的数量推理能力早熟，这表明人类的数量推理能力与其他灵长类动物有着共同的早期发展基础。这些数据进一步表明，灵长类动物数量推理的早期发展组成部分受到与遗传发育相关的成熟因素的限制，而不仅仅是学习经验。
Basic quantitative abilities are thought to have an innate basis in humans partly because the ability to discriminate quantities emerges early in child development. If humans and nonhuman primates share this developmentally primitive foundation of quantitative reasoning, then this ability should be present early in development across species and should emerge earlier in monkeys than in humans because monkeys mature faster than humans. We report that monkeys spontaneously make accurate quantity choices by 1 year of age in a task that human children begin to perform only at 2.5 to 3 years of age. Additionally, we report that the quantitative sensitivity of infant monkeys is equal to that of the adult animals in their group and that rates of learning do not differ between infant and adult animals. This novel evidence of precocious quantitative reasoning in infant monkeys suggests that human quantitative reasoning shares its early developing foundation with other primates. The data further suggest that early developing components of primate quantitative reasoning are constrained by maturational factors related to genetic development as opposed to learning experience alone.
