Research has shown that integer comparison is quick and efficient. This efficiency may be a function of the structure of the integer comparison system. The present study tests whether integers are compared with an unlimited capacity system or a limited capacity system. We tested these models using a visual search task with time delimitation. The data from Experiments 1 and 2 indicate that integers are encoded, identified, and compared within an unlimited capacity system. The data from Experiment 3 indicate that 2nd-order magnitude comparisons are processed with a highly efficient limited capacity system.
研究表明，整数比较快速且高效。这种效率可能是整数比较系统结构的一种作用。本研究测试整数是通过无限容量系统还是有限容量系统进行比较的。我们使用带有时间限定的视觉搜索任务对这些模型进行了测试。实验1和2的数据表明，整数是在无限容量系统内进行编码、识别和比较的。实验3的数据表明，二阶大小比较是通过一个高效的有限容量系统进行处理的。
