FeedsReplying to a comment on Thinking in a logarithmic scale
That correlation way cool. It also makes a lot of sense if you look at the way that a kid will categorize things into "small" "medium" "large" and "way large" groups -- if they've never seen them laid out linearly before it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to think of it that way. I'm surprised they learned so quickly, actually. I wonder if they would have forgotten it and gone back (at least partway) to the log. model if they were tested again the next week.
Also it doesn't say and I can't read the original article but did they give them different numbers to place every time? just checking.
