Perceived number is not abstract

Year: 2021

Type: preprint

Abstract: To support the claim that the ANS represents rational numbers, C&B argue that number perception is abstract and characterized by a second-order character. However, converging evidence from visual illusions and psychophysics suggests that perceived number is not abstract, but rather, is perceptually interdependent with other magnitudes. Moreover, number, as a concept, is second-order, but number, as a percept, is not.
