Can we represent number approximately? A seductive reductionist notion is that participants in number tasks rely on continuous extent cues (e.g., area) and therefore that the representations underlying performance lack numerical content. I suggest that this notion embraces a misconception: that perceptual input determines conceptual content.
我们可以近似表示数字吗?一个诱人的简化论观点是,在数字任务中参与者依赖于连续的范围线索(例如,面积),因此表现背后的表示缺乏数字内容。我认为这个观点包含了一个误解:即感知输入决定了概念内容。
