Numerical cognition needs more and better distinctions, not fewer
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 44 (2021)
Abstract
We agree that the approximate number system truly represents number. We endorse the authors' conclusions on the arguments from confounds, congruency, and imprecision, although we disagree with many claims along the way. Here, we discuss some complications with the meanings that undergird theories in numerical cognition, and with the language we use to communicate those theories.Other Versions
