A common visual metric for approximate number and density.
There is considerable interest in how humans estimate the number of objects in a scene in the context of an extensive literature on how we estimate the density (i.e., spacing) of objects. Here, we show that our sense of number and our sense of density are intertwined. Presented with two patches, observers found it more difficult to spot differences in either density or numerosity when those pat...
متن کاملVisual nesting impacts approximate number system estimation.
The approximate number system (ANS) allows people to quickly but inaccurately enumerate large sets without counting. One popular account of the ANS is known as the accumulator model. This model posits that the ANS acts analogously to a graduated cylinder to which one "cup" is added for each item in the set, with set numerosity read from the "height" of the cylinder. Under this model, one would ...
متن کاملApproximate particle number projection for finite range density dependent forces.
The Lipkin-Nogami method is generalized to deal with finite range density dependent forces. New expressions are derived and realistic calculations with the Gogny force are performed for the nuclei 164 Er and 168 Er. The sharp phase transition predicted by the mean field approximation is washed out by the Lipkin-Nogami approach. A much better agreement with the experimental data is reached with ...
متن کاملTexture density adaptation and visual number revisited
Burr and Ross [1] have recently proposed that the visual dimension of number is itself directly adaptable. The aftereffect they describe is one that my colleagues and I previously used to investigate the perception of texture density [2–4]. Burr and Ross [1] argue that the effect is new because it concerns visual number, rather than texture density, but they did not report critical tests to sup...
متن کاملNumber and density discrimination rely on a common metric: Similar psychophysical effects of size, contrast, and divided attention.
While observers are adept at judging the density of elements (e.g., in a random-dot image), it has recently been proposed that they also have an independent visual sense of number. To test the independence of number and density discrimination, we examined the effects of manipulating stimulus structure (patch size, element size, contrast, and contrast-polarity) and available attentional resource...
