Anotace:

V následující přehledové studii se snažíme shrnout základní poznatky o aproximálním numerickém systému (ANS) u člověka. V úvodu se věnujeme vymezení ANS, popisujeme jeho základní principy, mechanismy a neuroanatomickou lokalizaci systému. V další části studie identifikujeme průnik kognitivních funkcí ANS se základními kognitivními funkcemi, jež jsou nutné pro úspěšné zvládnutí školní i předškolní matematiky. Zaměřujeme se primárně na vzájemný vztah mezi ANS a matematickými schopnostmi a prostor věnujeme i kontroverzi, která v současné chvíli panuje v otázkách metodologického uchopení tohoto vztahu. V textu dále uvádíme poznatky z aktuálních studií, jež se pokoušejí o trénink ANS s cílem pozitivně působit na obecné matematické schopnosti. Poslední část patří možnostem využití ANS v pedagogické praxi, včetně zdůraznění klíčových mechanismů pro efektivní zařazení do praktické výuky.

Annotation:

In the following review study we try to summarise basic findings about the Approximate Number System (ANS) in human beings. We start with the definition of ANS, and describe its basic principles, mechanisms and the neuro-anatomical location of the system. We then go on to identitfy the intersection between ANS cognitive functions and the basic cognitive functions necessary for the successful mastery of school and pre-school mathematics. We focus primarily on the interaction between ANS and mathematical abilities and devote space to the current controversy in questions of the methodological approach to this interaction. In the text we also present findings from recent studies directed to developing training in ANS with the aim of positively affecting general mathematical abilities. The last section of the study looks at the possibilities for the exploitation of ANS in educational practice, including emphasis on the key mechanisms for its effective integration into practical teaching.
