Abstract
Leibovich et al. argue that it is impossible to control for all continuous magnitudes in a numerical task. We contend that continuous magnitudes (i.e., perimeter, area, density) can be simultaneously controlled. Furthermore, we argue that shedding light on the interplay between number and continuous magnitudes–rather than considering them independently–will provide a much more fruitful approach tounderstanding mathematical abilities.File in questo prodotto:
