This table is a list of relevant studies that have been conducted to investigate infants’ small number and quantity tracking using the crawling procedure. Stimuli used to test quantities for these studies are usually crackers. Column 4 indicates whether or not infants preferred the greater quantity of crackers. A Yes in the column may be interpreted as infants’ capacity to discriminate the quantities. Column 5 indicates whether continuous variables of surface area were controlled.
