Opfer, John E.; Siegler, Robert S.; Young, Christopher J. – Developmental Science, 2011
Barth and Paladino (2011) argue that changes in numerical representations are better modeled by a power function whose exponent gradually rises to 1 than as a shift from a logarithmic to a linear representation of numerical magnitude. However, the fit of the power function to number line estimation data may simply stem from fitting noise generated…
