They included 2 conditions in their initial study: an addition condition and a subtraction condition. Choose ONE of these conditions and describe it - what were infants initially shown, and what were they shown subsequently in the 2 test conditions? (2 marks) What were the results for the condition you just described? (1 mark) Overall, what was this research group's main conclusion regarding numerical reasoning in 5-month-olds? (1 mark)

a) In the addition condition, the infant is shown a doll on a stage. A screen then comes up to hide the doll from the infant.
