More than the sum of its parts: Exploring the development of ratio magnitude versus simple magnitude perception
Humans perceptually extract quantity information from our environments, be it from simple
stimuli in isolation, or from relational magnitudes formed by taking ratios of pairs of simple …

Symbolic fractions elicit an analog magnitude representation in school-age children
PB Kalra, JV Binzak, PG Matthews… - Journal of Experimental …, 2020 - Elsevier
A fundamental question about fractions is whether they are grounded in an abstract
nonsymbolic magnitude code similar to that postulated for whole numbers. Mounting …

Spontaneous partitioning and proportion estimation in children's numerical judgments
What do numerical estimates tell us about developing an understanding of number? One
theory is that bounded number line estimation (NLE) tasks reveal a “representational shift” …
