Do mental magnitudes form part of the foundation for natural number concepts? Don't count them out yet
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 31 (6):644-645 (2008)
Abstract
The current consensus among most researchers is that natural number is not built solely upon a foundation of mental magnitudes. On their way to the conclusion that magnitudes do not form any part of that foundation, Rips et al. pass rather quickly by theories suggesting that mental magnitudes might play some role. These theories deserve a closer lookOther Versions
