Bayesian estimation yields anti-Weber variability

A Prat-Carrabin, SJ Gershman - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
A classic result of psychophysics is that human perceptual estimates are more variable for
larger magnitudes. This 'Weber behavior'has typically not been the focus of the prominent …

Bayes vs. Weber: how to break a law of psychophysics

A Prat-Carrabin, SJ Gershman - bioRxiv, 2024 - biorxiv.org
A classic tenet of psychophysics due to Weber is that human perceptual judgments are more
variable for larger magnitudes. The more recent Bayesian paradigm proposes that human …

Benford's Law from a Developmental Perspective

S Wünsch, R Vollmeyer, B Burns - … of the Annual Meeting of the …, 2024 - escholarship.org
When adults estimate meaningful numbers their distribution of first-digits is strongly biased
towards Benford's Law. Insight into why this bias emerges could be gained by examining …

Small-Large Number Dissociation: The Effect of Visual Nesting

Y Yu - 2024 - search.proquest.com
Previous studies show a limit in infants' number abilities: although infants can reliably
discriminate two large numbers (≥ 4) or two small (< 4) numbers, they often fail to …

Mechanisms underlying the interface between number words and perceptual magnitudes

D Dramkin - 2023 - open.library.ubc.ca
The human mind represents information in many domains and formats. Perceptual
representations of number, space, and time integrate into a holistic conscious experience …

Intuitive Global Mean Estimation in Scatterplots with Spatial Clusters

Y Wang, T Brady - osf.io
