Primes

• Logarithmic Perception and Encoding
  • Numerical cognition — the mental number line is log-spaced in non-symbolic estimation; distance and ratio effects are signatures of log encoding.

    This sourceArgues non-symbolic numerical estimation is logarithmically compressed, with distance and ratio effects as signatures.
