Deriving numerosity and shape from identical visual displays.
We presented identical displays of three to five dots in a functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) experiment with normal volunteers. Two distinct directed attention tasks were performed on these displays: In one condition, subjects assessed the numerosity of the display; in the other condition, they assessed the shape of the display. Decisions based on numerosity activated differentially ...
متن کاملDASTWAR: a tool for completeness estimation in magnitude-size plane
Today, great observatories around the world, devote a substantial amount of observing time to sky surveys. The resulted images are inputs of source finder modules. These modules search for the target objects and provide us with source catalogues. We sought to quantify the ability of detection tools in recovering faint galaxies regularly encountered in deep surveys. Our approach was based on com...
متن کاملThe Role of Visual Information in Numerosity Estimation
Mainstream theory suggests that the approximate number system supports our non-symbolic number abilities (e.g. estimating or comparing different sets of items). It is argued that this system can extract number independently of the visual cues present in the stimulus (diameter, aggregate surface, etc.). However, in a recent report we argue that this might not be the case. We showed that particip...
متن کاملThe numerosity and mean size of multiple objects are perceived independently and in parallel
It is well documented that people are good at the rapid representation of multiple objects in the form of ensemble summary statistics of different types (numerosity, the average feature, the variance of features, etc.). However, there is not enough clarity regarding the links between statistical domains. The relations between different-type summaries (numerosity and the mean) are of particular ...
متن کاملComparative judgment of numerosity and numerical magnitude: attention preempts automaticity.
It is commonly believed that humans are unable to ignore the meanings of numerical symbols, even when these meanings are irrelevant to the task at hand. In 5 experiments, the authors tested the notion of automatic activation of numerical magnitude by asking participants to compare, while timed, pairs of numerical arrays on either numerosity or numerical value. Garner and Stroop effects were use...
