Highlights• Overlapping neural responses to number discrimination tasks in adults and children. • Ontogenetic maturation of language regions may constrain verbal number processing. • Neural correlates of effortful number discrimination were similar across age groups. • Prefrontal activity attributed to children’s number processing was not replicated. • Results indicative of mature number discrimination abilities around 11 years of age.
