The statistical properties of data are not present in any individual value, but rather, emerge only by perceiving the set as a whole. Summarizing the statistical properties of sets (e.g., creating ensembles) is ubiquitous in cognition, yet one unanswered question is how this process changes over development. The properties of number sets (e.g.,…

The authors also render explicit certain trends in the Flavell et…

Motivated by a Bayesian account, we conducted a training study to investigate this question. Children (45…
