Despite a heated debate regarding a cognitive mechanism of magnitude representation, little has been done to directly compare numerical and non-numerical estimation and provide a unified account of the two processes. In the current study, we examined estimation of numerical and non-numerical quantities on a continuum using various psychophysical functions. Inconsistent with the proportion reaso...

nowadays, software cost estimation (sce) with machine learning techniques are more performance than other traditional techniques which were based on algorithmic techniques. in this paper, we present a new hybrid model of multi-layer perceptron (mlp) artificial neural network (ann) and ant colony optimization (aco) algorithm for high accuracy in sce called multilayer perceptron ant colony optimi...

In sentence acceptability experiments, subjects are typically asked to indicate their response to sentences in one of three ways. In a yes/no forced choice task, subjects simply indicate whether or not the sentence sounds good. In an n-point numerical scale (or Likert scale) task, the extremes of a subjects choose a number on the scale that reflects their overall response to the sentence. Final...
