 le:</strong> Constraints and flexibility in early quantification: Insights 
 from infancy</p><div><div><strong>Abstract:</strong> Quantification (e.g.\,
  knowing how many objects are in a scene) requires selecting a relevant ent
 ity and storing it in working memory for further processing.  Critically\, 
 multiple kinds of entities can be selected and stored.  In this talk I offe
 r evidence that even the youngest humans can represent at least three diffe
 rent levels of entities in working memory.  They can represent an individua
 l object (e.g.\, “that bird”). They can represent a collection of items (e.
 g.\, “that flock of birds”).  And they can represent a set of discrete item
 s (e.g.\, “the set containing Bird A\, Bird B\, and Bird C”).  Each of thes
 e types of representations permits a different type of quantificational pro
 cessing\, empowering some computations and blocking others.  Hence\, which 
 quantity-relevant computations may be performed in any given situation depe
 nds on which level of representation is stored.  This framework for thinkin
 g about interactions between attention\, working memory\, and quantificatio
 n applies throughout development\, starting in infancy.</div><div><hr /></d
