The evolvement of discrete representations from continuous stimulus properties: A possible overarching principle of cognition

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Leibovich et al. propose that non-symbolic numerosity abilities develop from the processing of more basic, continuous magnitudes such as size, area, and density. Here I review similar arguments arising in the visual perception field and further propose that the evolvement of discrete representations from continuous stimulus properties may be a fundamental characteristic of cognitive development.
