THE EFFECT OF A SIMPLE TRAINING PROCEDURE ON THE JUDGMENT OF VISUAL NUMBER.

Abstract

CONCLUSIONS: Accuracy of judging number can be improved by a simple training procedure. The effect of this training upon accuracy is almost immediate. Most of the possible improvement is made after a very short training period. Training improves the estimates of both those individuals who tend to overestimate and those who tend to underestimate number. After a period as long as eight months without further practice or training, people still judge number more accurately than before training. The effects of training seem to last for a relatively long time. (Author)
