There is a current debate whether the human brain possesses a shared representation for various types of magnitude such as numerical quantities, physical size, or loudness. Here, we critically review evidence from chronometric, neuroimaging, developmental and comparative fields, and supplement it with a meta-analysis of the neuroimaging data. Together, based on such an integrative overview, we discuss limitations inherent in each approach, and the possibility whether shared, or distinct magnitude representation, or both representations exist.
目前存在一场争论，即人类大脑是否拥有对各种量级类型（如数值量、物理大小或响度）的共享表征。在此，我们批判性地回顾了来自计时测量、神经成像、发育和比较领域的证据，并用对神经成像数据的荟萃分析对其进行补充。基于这样一个综合概述，我们共同讨论了每种方法固有的局限性，以及共享或不同量级表征或两种表征都存在的可能性。
