    This document discusses several studies related to mathematical abilities: - One study examined the counting abilities of birds through a series of experiments where birds were taught to eat a specific number of grains and later could stop at the designated number when given a different collection. - Research also looked at the order in which children develop mathematical abilities and found that children as young as 2.5 understand that the number said at the end of counting represents the number of items. - However, children often do not apply this cardinality principle to a new collection they just counted if it has a different arrangement than the original. - Archaeology sometimes finds artifacts that seem to imply mathematical reasoning, such as a wolf bone marked with notches grouped in
