A large and growing literature examines how we see the visual quantities of number, area, and density. The literature rests on an untested assumption: that our perception of area is veridical. Here, we discuss a systematic distortion of perceived area and its implications for quantity perception more broadly.
大量且不断增长的文献研究了我们如何看待数量、面积和密度等视觉量。这些文献基于一个未经检验的假设:我们对面积的感知是正确的。在这里,我们讨论了一种对感知面积的系统扭曲,以及它对更广泛的数量感知的影响。
