Leibovich et al. argue that it is impossible to control for all continuous magnitudes in a numerical task. We contend that continuous magnitudes (i.e., perimeter, area, density) can be simultaneously controlled. Furthermore, we argue that shedding light on the interplay between number and continuous magnitudes - rather than considering them independently - will provide a much more fruitful approach to understanding mathematical abilities.
列博维茨等人认为，在数值任务中不可能控制所有连续量。我们认为，连续量（即周长、面积、密度）可以同时得到控制。此外，我们认为，揭示数量和连续量之间的相互作用——而不是独立考虑它们——将为理解数学能力提供更有成效的方法。
