Comparative Review of the Magnitude of Transaction Costs in Construction Procurement Projects between Developed and Developing Countries

Journal of Applied Sciences and Environmental Management, 2020
Contracting business in public sector within various counties has a transaction cost to incur. This paper reviews transaction costs magnitude of developed and developing countries using standard sampling and procedure by analyzing data from four (4 ...

Visual stimulus parameters seriously compromise the measurement of approximate number system acuity and comparative effects between adults and children

Frontiers in Psychology, 2013
It has been suggested that a simple non-symbolic magnitude comparison task is sufficient to measure the acuity of a putative Approximate Number System (ANS).

Differences in arithmetic performance between Chinese and German children are accompanied by differences in processing of symbolic numerical magnitude

Frontiers in Psychology, 2016
Symbolic numerical magnitude processing skills are assumed to be fundamental to arithmetic learning. It is, however, still an open question whether better arithmetic skills are reflected in symbolic numerical magnitude processing skills.

Cardinal and Ordinal Aspects of Finger-Counting Habits Predict Different Individual Differences in Embodied Numerosity

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2018
The hand with which one starts to count has been shown repeatedly to influence numerical performance. However, methods vary greatly in how researchers determine starting hand.

A Drift Diffusion Model Account of the Semantic Congruity Effect in a Classification Paradigm

Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2017
The semantic congruity effect refers to the facilitation of judgements (i) when the direction of the comparison of two items coincides with the relative position of the items along the dimension comparison or (ii) when the relative size of a standard and

Processing stage flexibility of the SNARC effect: Task relevance or magnitude relevance?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2022
Previous studies have shown that the processing stage of the spatial-numerical association of response codes (SNARC) effect is flexible. Two recent studies used the same experimental paradigm to check whether the SNARC effect occurred in the semantic ...

Magnitude comparison with different types of rational numbers. [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 2014
An important issue in understanding mathematical cognition involves the similarities and differences between the magnitude representations associated with various types of rational numbers. For single-digit integers, evidence indicates that magnitudes are represented as analog values on a mental number line, such that magnitude comparisons are made ...

A Diffusion Model Analysis of Magnitude Comparison in Children with and without Dyscalculia: Care of Response and Ability Are Related to Both Mathematical Achievement and Stimuli

Frontiers in Psychology, 2018
The respective roles of the approximate number system (ANS) and an access deficit (AD) in developmental dyscalculia (DD) are not well-known. Most studies rely on response times (RTs) or accuracy (error rates) separately.

To what extent is dot comparison an appropriate measure of approximate number system?

Frontiers in Psychology, 2023
Introduction:Number sense has been systematically measured using dot comparison tasks. However, recent studies have reported that performance on dot comparison might be influenced inhibitory control and visual properties of dot arrays.
