Mind the (inferential) gap: Giles et al. (2018) provide no convincing evidence for a causal relationship between interceptive-timing ability and arithmetic attainment

In a recent article, Giles et al. (2018) stated that “Piaget proposed that sensorimotor interactions with the environment underpin the development of cognitive representations, including our understanding of number” (p. 1335). They went on to argue for a specific causal connection between the develo...
