numerosity
How many present
Numerosity is the property of having number—specifically, the approximate sense of quantity that humans and animals perceive without counting.
Cognitive scientists distinguish between exact counting and numerosity, the intuitive grasp that one group contains more items than another: Infants as young as six months show sensitivity to numerosity.
The term appears in psychology and neuroscience research on mathematical cognition.
