Clarke and Beck propose that the approximate number system (ANS) represents rational numbers. The evidence cited supports only the view that it represents ratios (and positive integers). Rational numbers are extensive magnitudes (i.e., sizes), whereas ratios are intensities. It is also argued that WHAT a system represents and HOW it does so are not as independent of one another as the authors assume.
克拉克和贝克提出，近似数量系统（ANS）表示有理数。引用的证据仅支持这样一种观点，即它表示比率（和正整数）。有理数是广泛的量（即大小），而比率是强度。还有人认为，一个系统表示什么和它如何表示并不像作者假设的那样彼此独立。
