A rational analysis of the approximate number system. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychon Bull Rev, 2016
It is well-known in numerical cognition that higher numbers are represented with less absolute fidelity than lower numbers, often formalized as a logarithmic mapping. Previous derivations of this psychological law have worked by assuming that relative change in physical magnitude is the key psychologically-relevant measure (Fechner, 1860; Sun et al ...

Young Children Intuitively Divide Before They Recognize the Division Symbol

open access: yesFrontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022
Children bring intuitive arithmetic knowledge to the classroom before formal instruction in mathematics begins. For example, children can use their number sense to add, subtract, compare ratios, and even perform scaling operations that increase or ...

An Efficient Method for Comparing Numbers and Determining the Sign of a Number in RNS for Even Ranges

open access: yesComputation, 2022
Fully Homomorphic Encryption (FHE) permits processing information in the form of ciphertexts without decryption. It can ensure the security of information in common technologies used today, such as cloud computing, the Internet of Things, and machine ...

Developmental Change of Approximate Number System Acuity (Keenness) Reveals Delay

open access: yesJournal of Business and Social Review in Emerging Economies, 2021
The ability to process numbers approximately also called, approximate number system (ANS) is related and predictive of school mathematics performance. This system is functional since birth and continue to become more precise throughout the development ...

Indexing the approximate number system [PDF]

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2014
Much recent research attention has focused on understanding individual differences in the approximate number system, a cognitive system believed to underlie human mathematical competence. To date researchers have used four main indices of ANS acuity, and have typically assumed that they measure similar properties. Here we report a study which questions

Numerosities and Other Magnitudes in the Brains: A Comparative View

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2021
The ability to represent, discriminate, and perform arithmetic operations on discrete quantities (numerosities) has been documented in a variety of species of different taxonomic groups, both vertebrates and invertebrates.

Stimulus frequency alone can account for the size effect in number comparison

open access: yesActa Psychologica, 2023
In a number comparison task, the size effect (i.e, smaller values are easier to compare than larger values) is usually attributed to a psychophysics-based representation.

A Domain-General Sense of Confidence in Children [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Mind, 2018
Our minds constantly evaluate the confidence in what we see, think, and remember. Previous work suggests that confidence is a domain-general currency in adulthood, unifying otherwise independent sensory and perceptual representations.
