Abstract

Clarke and Beck (C&B) discuss in their sections on congruency and confounds (sects. 3 and 4) literature that has challenged the claim that the approximate number system (ANS) represents numerical content. We argue that the propositions put forward by these studies aren't that far from the indirect model of number perception suggested by C&B.
