Codes on Highest Number Counted for the Standard Sample
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents codes on the highest number a society can count to. In the original study (Divale 1999) these codes were used to test a model that explains the variability in counting systems found in traditional societies. Societies that live in areas of climatic instability in terms of temperature and precipitation extremes tend to have period starvation and famine, which in turn stimulates societies to store and preserve food. The need to store and preserve food during one season for use in another stimulates societies to develop abilities to count to higher numbers in order to accurately estimate food storage requirements. This model was successfully tested cross-culturally on two separate worldwide samples (N = 69 and N = 136 respectively).
