Judgments of discrete and continuous quantity: an illusory Stroop effect.
Evidence from human cognitive neuroscience, animal neurophysiology, and behavioral research demonstrates that human adults, infants, and children share a common nonverbal quantity processing system with nonhuman animals. This system appears to represent both discrete and continuous quantity, but the proper characterization of the relationship between judgments of discrete and continuous quantit...
متن کاملQuantity discrimination in salamanders.
We investigated discrimination of large quantities in salamanders of the genus Plethodon. Animals were challenged with two different quantities (8 vs 12 or 8 vs 16) in a two-alternative choice task. Stimuli were live crickets, videos of live crickets or images animated by a computer program. Salamanders reliably chose the larger of two quantities when the ratio between the sets was 1:2 and stim...
متن کاملQuantity Discrimination by Zebrafish
Discrimination of quantity (magnitude) was investigated in zebrafish (Danio rerio). Male zebrafish chose to approach the location previously occupied by the larger in number between 2 groups of female conspecifics (no longer visible at test) in sets of 1 versus 2 items, and 2 versus 3 items, but failed at 3 versus 4 items; similarly, when tested with larger numbers, zebrafish succeeded with 2 v...
متن کاملEvaluating layout discrimination capabilities of continuous and discrete automultiscopic displays
Continuous automultiscopic displays represent a promising technology, able to drive users into really involving and compelling experiences. In this paper, we report on perceptual experiments carried out to evaluate the depth discrimination capabilities of this technology with respect to two-view (stereo) and discrete multi-view designs. The evaluation employed a large scale multi-projector 3D d...
متن کاملNeuronal population coding of continuous and discrete quantity in the primate posterior parietal cortex.
Quantitative knowledge guides vital decisions in the life of animals and humans alike. The posterior parietal cortex in primates has been implicated in representing abstract quantity, both continuous (extent) and discrete (number of items), supporting the idea of a putative generalized magnitude system in this brain area. Whether or not single neurons encode different types of quantity, or how ...
