Selecting the model that best fits the data
Willemijn van Woerkom, Willem H. Zuidema · Behavioral and Brain Sciences · 2017
Leibovich et al. argue that that none of the experiments they review really establishes that human adults, infants, or nonhuman animals are sensitive to numerosity independent of a range of continuous quantities. We do not dispute their claim that the empirical record is inconclusive but argue that model-based data analysis does offer a way to make progress.
