Abstract
Without even realizing it, our brain is constantly taking in information from our external environment. While some things take conscious effort, others happen with little or no thought. Vision is an enormous input, and our brain processes what it sees in order for us to do many of our daily activities. One of the things that we process constantly is the number of objects in our field of view. This is the same for both infants and adults, since we both have to navigate the world we live in. The purpose of my research project was to examine more deeply into how exactly our brain processes this information, and to see specifically if this process is similar for infants and adults.
