Judging Magnitude: Is there a Common Cognitive System for Different Types of Magnitude Judgments?
It has been suggested that a common cognitive system is employed in magnitude judgments across multiple modalities (Walsh, 2003). To test this theory, we examined whether performance on magnitude judgments of number, surface area, duration, and loudness correlated with each other in both magnitude comparison (e.g., determine which is more), and magnitude estimation (e.g., if magnitude 1 value =...
متن کاملRoughness in modules by using the notion of reference points
module over a ring is a general mathematical concept for many examples of mathematicalobjects that can be added to each other and multiplied by scalar numbers.In this paper, we consider a module over a ring as a universe and by using the notion of reference points, we provide local approximations for subsets of the universe.
متن کاملReference Points in Men’s and Women’s Judgments of Progress Toward Gender Equality
Men rate progress toward gender equality more favorably than do women. Across two studies with U.S. undergraduate samples, we explore whether this difference in perceived progress stems from a gender difference in chosen reference points. Using ANOVA and regression, we demonstrate that men (n=33) assess progress relative to the past more than to the goal of full equality. In contrast, women (n=...
متن کاملA Test of the Cognitive Assumptions of Magnitude Estimation: Commutativity Does Not Hold for Acceptability Judgments
The introduction of the psychophysical technique of MAGNITUDE ESTIMATION to the study of acceptability judgments (Bard et al. 1996) has led to a surge of interest in formal acceptabilityjudgment experiments over the past fifteen years. One of the primary reasons for its popularity is that it was developed as a tool to measure actual units of perception, offering the possibility of data that is ...
متن کاملMagnitude processing in non-symbolic stimuli
Dot arrays are often used to study basic numerical skills across cultures, species and development. Researchers investigate the ability of subjects to discriminate between dot arrays, as a function of the ratio or distance between their numerosities. Such studies have contributed significantly to the number sense theory (i.e., that humans are born with the ability to process numerosities, and s...
