Sentence examples for in the quantity range from inspiring English sources

Notice that this pattern too is not necessarily bidirectional; that is, large quantities are linked to an exact written digit in the non symbolic task, as can be seen from the congruency effect found for both groups in the quantity range in the non symbolic task (i.e., when it is relevant).

In the small quantity range, the numerical abilities of newborn guppies appear the same as that shown by adult fish and primates [19], [30].

No significant difference was found between the regression slopes of the data for numbers in the small quantity range (2 5) and the slopes for numbers beyond that range [50].

In addition we tested guppies in comparisons between one number in the small quantity range and one large number, twenty in the 2 vs. 5 and twenty in 3 vs. 8 comparison.

An item can be included partially in the given quantity range and the cost is a nonconvex piecewise linear function of quantity.

In a subsequent experiment subjects proved to be able to discriminate 2 from 3 objects after all non-numerical continuous variables were simultaneously controlled, providing the first direct evidence of use of numerical information in fish, at least in the small quantity range.

In Experiment 1 newborn guppies tested in similar conditions chose the larger shoal when the choice was between numbers in the small quantity range, 2 vs. 3 fish, but not when they had to choose between two large sets, 4 vs. 8 fish, although the ratio was larger in the latter case.

At birth, guppies showed the ability to choose the larger shoal when the choice was between numbers in the small quantity range, 2 vs. 3 fish, but not when they had to choose between two large sets, 4 vs. 8 or 4 vs. 12 fish, even if the numerical ratio was larger in the latter cases.

One-day old fish chose the larger shoal when the choice was between numbers in the small quantity range, 2 vs. 3 fish, but not when they had to choose between large numbers, 4 vs. 8 or 4 vs. 12, although the numerical ratio was larger in the latter case.

Finally guppies were tested in comparisons between one number in the small quantity range and one large number (2 vs. 5 and 3 vs. 8).

Fish could easily discriminate groups with ratios of 2∶3 or 3∶4 in the small quantity range, but not when larger numerosities were involved; the performance appeared ratio-dependent for large, but not for small numbers and a different combination of continuous variables affected discrimination in the two ranges [30].
