The purpose of the database, called the Exact Analytical Conduction Toolbox, is to provide improved access to precise numerical values from verified solutions for application to engineering problems of current interest.
COPASI is a platform-independent, user-friendly software tool that allows easy access to powerful numerical methods for simulation and analysis of biochemical reaction networks.
Here we used a training procedure to investigate whether mosquitofish could learn to discriminate between two and three objects even when denied access to non-numerical information.
In the present work we investigated whether fish can discriminate between two quantities when access to non-numerical cues was prevented.
Indeed results of experiment 1b, in which the access to non-numerical cues was prevented, showed that fish can make discriminations beyond the small quantity range, such as 4 vs. 8, using the sole numerical information.
Although, in a new study, mosquitofish were shown to be able to select the larger social group even after the access to non-numerical cues was made difficult [35], the confounding effect of continuous variables remains complicated to control in the social choice paradigm.
Access to task-irrelevant numerical information has been measured using the so-called numerical Stroop paradigm (NSP) [ 17].
In recent years, the degree of automatic access to task-irrelevant numerical information has been used as a measure of the development of numerical skills.
Thus, we suggest that implicit tasks mediate the access to representations of numerical magnitude (Cohen, Dehaene, Chochon, Lehéricy, & Nacacche, 2000; Dehaene et al., 1996) along with semantic access to the memory lexicon.
In a second step, passive listening to number words was compared to the non-numerical control task passive listening to pseudowords to evaluate to what extent the intraparietal activation during the tasks with numerical stimuli indeed involved access to the representation of numerical magnitude rather than non-numerical factors such as attention and covert response selection.
