Numerical bias in bounded and unbounded number line tasks.
The number line task is often used to assess children's and adults' underlying representations of integers. Traditional bounded number line tasks, however, have limitations that can lead to misinterpretation. Here we present a new task, an unbounded number line task, that overcomes these limitations. In Experiment 1, we show that adults use a biased proportion estimation strategy to complete th...
متن کاملA Unified Framework for Bounded and Unbounded Numerical Estimation
Representations of numerical value have been assessed by using bounded (e.g., 0-1,000) and unbounded (e.g., 0-?) number-line tasks, with considerable debate regarding whether 1 or both tasks elicit unique cognitive strategies (e.g., addition or subtraction) and require unique cognitive models. To test this, we examined how well a mixed log-linear model accounted for 86 5- to 9-year-olds' estima...
متن کاملBounded Domains and Unbounded Domains
First, notions of inside components and outside components are introduced for any subset of n-dimensional Euclid space. Next, notions of the bounded domain and the unbounded domain are defined using the above components. If the dimension is larger than 1, and if a subset is bounded, a unbounded domain of the subset coincides with an outside component (which is unique) of the subset. For a spher...
متن کاملUnbounded Allocation in Bounded Heaps
In this paper we introduce a new symbolic semantics for a class of recursive programs which feature dynamic creation and unbounded allocation of objects. We use a symbolic representation of the program state in terms of equations to model the semantics of a program as a pushdown system with a finite set of control states and a finite stack alphabet. Our main technical result is a rigorous proof...
