Document Summary

Goals: illustrate how each system works, show evidence that non-human animals have both systems. How tallying works: keep track of who"s who. Have to remember which ones i touched just so i don"t have to count or tally the same circle over again. Percept transformation 1 ( estimate where things are and average size; estimate of where things are ) transformation 2 ( lump and make a magnitude) Note: the dots you generate should always be the same size. Magnitudes not nearly as limited but not very precise based on guesstimates. 2-3 exact numbers everyone can get the exact letters and numbers . 6 and more approximation can roughly get 3 4 letters in maximum. Rats answer for pulling the lever are not precise. When the number goes higher, they make a lot more mistakes. Not individuation sets are larger than 4. For 8, 12, and 16 pulls rats used magnitudes rats are clearly using magnitudes.
