Mental Numerosity Line in the Human's Approximate Number System.
Previous studies have demonstrated existence of a mental line for symbolic numbers (e.g., Arabic digits). For nonsymbolic number systems, however, it remains unresolved whether a spontaneous spatial layout of numerosity exists. The current experiment investigated whether SNARC-like (Spatial-Numerical Association of Response Codes) effects exist in approximate processing of numerosity, as well a...

Sampling from the mental number line: how are approximate number system representations formed? Sampling from the mental number line: how are approximate number system representations formed? Cognition, 129 (1), pp. 63-69. Abstract Nonsymbolic comparison tasks are commonly used to index the acuity of an individual's approximate number system (ANS), a cognitive mechanism believed to be involved ...
متن کاملCalibrating the mental number line.
Human adults are thought to possess two dissociable systems to represent numbers: an approximate quantity system akin to a mental number line, and a verbal system capable of representing numbers exactly. Here, we study the interface between these two systems using an estimation task. Observers were asked to estimate the approximate numerosity of dot arrays. We show that, in the absence of calib...
