[AP] Researchers say numbers aren't needed to count

Message #4912 of 6580 |

Answer this without counting: Are there more X's here XXXXXX, or here
XXXXX? That's a problem facing people whose languages don't include
words for more than one or two. Yet researchers say children who speak
those languages are still able to compare quantities.
