The phrase "abstract numerals" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing numerical representations that are not tied to specific quantities or physical objects, often in mathematical or philosophical discussions.
Example: "In mathematics, abstract numerals allow us to explore concepts without being limited by tangible representations."
Alternatives: "conceptual numbers" or "theoretical numerals".
The similarity in topography and time course was taken as support for the hypothesis that different input formats (words and numerals) are translated into a common abstract mental representation and that regardless of input notation the comparison is based on abstract numerical representations.
But once a society becomes complex enough to require more abstract counting, higher numerals are needed.
In the three pieces at Luhring Augustine, the stillness is gone and the primary images are abstract: printed and projected numerals — Nos. 1 through 6 — moving in constantly changing configurations.
Since the monkeys learned independently to choose between dots-vs-dots or numerals-vs-numerals, we consider 3 increasingly abstract scenarios for what they learned: 1) two independent matrices of pairwise choices, 2) two independent rank orders, or 3) the number of drops of juice, or the hedonic value, symbolized by each stimulus.
A majority of the book, however, involves smaller printed numerals and the ways designers abstract and exaggerate them to either efficiently present information or artfully exploit their forms.
Similarly, Dehaene's [3] triple-code model suggests that numerical information can be represented as a visual Arabic numeral form, an auditory verbal word frame, or an analogical form serves as a common abstract representation of magnitude information, or internal number line.
The model suggests three distinct systems underlying numerical processes: a quantity system that includes the abstract semantic representation of numerosities, a verbal system that is mainly concerned with the linguistic aspects of number words, and a visual system that is mainly concerned with the symbolic representation of numbers, such as in the form of Arabic numerals [ 30].
The principal features of his pictures are stenciled letters and numerals, but these are smeared, overpainted or obscured so as to become partly abstract, and thus akin to the artist's wordless brushwork.
The second conclusion is that the P2p ERP distance effect is common to Arabic numerals and non-symbolic dot arrays, suggesting that it does indeed reflect an abstract and notation-independent neural activation that is invoked for both symbolic and non-symbolic numerical processing.
According to Szabo (1999, p. 150), types are abstract particulars, as with Platonic realism, but tokens represent their types, just as "paintings, photographs, maps, numerals, hand gestures, traffic signs and horn signals" represent, or "stand for" their representata.
