The Relationship between the Shape of the Mental Number Line and Familiarity with Numbers in 5- to 9-Year Old Children: Evidence for a Segmented Linear Model.
TL;DR: This experiment tested the hypothesis that children's familiarity with numbers is directly reflected by the shape of their mental number line, and a segmented regression model consisting of two linear segments described number line estimations significantly better than a logarithmic or a simple linear model.

TL;DR: In this article, second graders use benchmark-based strategies when solving a number line estimation (NLE) task, and participants were assigned to one of three conditions based on the availability of benchmarks provided on the number line.
Juvenile domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) use human-given cues in an object choice task
TL;DR: It is concluded that domestic pigs, even at a very young age, are skilful in utilizing various human-given cues in an object choice task—raising the question whether pigs only used stimulus/local enhancement and associative learning processes or whether they were able to comprehend the communicative nature of at least some of these cues.
Children's intuitive mathematics: the development of knowledge about nonlinear growth.
TL;DR: 9-year-olds already judged the result of exponential growth as being significantly higher than that of linear growth, and even a remarkable proportion of 7- year-olds showed such discrimination between the two types of functions.

Are juvenile domestic pigs (Sus scrofa domestica) sensitive to the attentive states of humans?--The impact of impulsivity on choice behaviour
TL;DR: It is suggested that pigs are able to use head cues to discriminate between different attentive states of humans.
