Telling People about the Left Digit Effect in Number Line Estimation Still does not Reduce the Effect
Abstract: A robust left digit effect (LDE) arises in number line estimation such that adults’ estimates for numerals with different leftmost digits but nearly identical magnitudes (e.g., 298/302) are placed in systematically different locations from one another. Number line estimation tasks are important because they are used for measuring and training magnitude estimation skills and … Read more
