Psychophysical evidence for the number sense
It is now clear that most animals, including humans, possess an ability to rapidly estimate number. Some have questioned whether this ability arises from dedicated numerosity mechanisms, or is derived indirectly from judgements of density or other attributes. We describe a series of psychophysical experiments, largely using adaptation techniques, which demonstrate clearly the existence of a num...

متن کاملThe thickness of musical pitch: psychophysical evidence for linguistic relativity.
Do people who speak different languages think differently, even when they are not using language? To find out, we used nonlinguistic psychophysical tasks to compare mental representations of musical pitch in native speakers of Dutch and Farsi. Dutch speakers describe pitches as high (hoog) or low (laag), whereas Farsi speakers describe pitches as thin (nazok) or thick (koloft). Differences in l...
متن کاملNumber Sense Disambiguation
Word Sense Disambiguation is a well studied field, with a range of successful methods. However, there has been little work on examining the analogue for numbers, classifying them into senses (‘year’, ‘date’, ‘telephone number’ etc.) based on their context potentially useful for Text to Speech and Information Extraction systems. We extend the semi-supervised Decision List model described by Davi...
متن کامل, Freiburg THE DEVELOPMENT OF NUMBER SENSE
In order to find out how number sense develops with increasing age, an estimation test, including numbers of quantities, lengths and weights in different orders of magnitude was developed and given to children in primary schools, in secondary schools and to mathematics students. The results show strengths in estimating lengths (in cm and m) and weaknesses in estimating weights and lengths or qu...
