To understand the cognitive nature of quantities such as number, researchers often investigate how participants perform e.g. magnitude (small / large) or parity (odd / even) judgments. However, computational modelling and behavioral studies conducted in our lab suggest that these tasks might tell us more about how we make decisions than about how we represent quantitative information. Our own work has focused on associations between number, space and physical size. We show how the results fit within our modelling framework.
