Direct linkMöhring, Wenke; Szubielska, Magdalena – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2023
The present study examined whether scaling direction and perceptual modality affect children's spatial scaling. Children aged 6-8 years (N = 201) were assigned to a visual, visuo-haptic, and haptic condition in which they were presented with colourful, embossed graphics. In the haptic condition, they were asked to wear a blindfold during the test…

Dealing with Big Numbers: Representation and Understanding of Magnitudes outside of Human Experience
Resnick, Ilyse; Newcombe, Nora S.; Shipley, Thomas F. – Cognitive Science, 2017
Being able to estimate quantity is important in everyday life and for success in the STEM disciplines. However, people have difficulty reasoning about magnitudes outside of human perception (e.g., nanoseconds, geologic time). This study examines patterns of estimation errors across temporal and spatial magnitudes at large scales. We evaluated the…
