The tasks dealing with the physical world consisted of problems concerning space (4 tasks), quantities (2 tasks), and tools and causality (4 tasks).
There were also some indications that in the symbolic task the quantity information extracted by children might have become more precise: in accuracy the distance effect tended towards a steeper curve, and in reaction time the distance effect showed a trend towards being smaller at post test.
Through these and other tests, Gordon concluded that Everett was right: the people could not perform tasks involving quantities greater than three.
Two different numerical contrasts were presented: a small quantity task (2 vs. 3) to newborns and a large quantity task (4 vs. 8) to juveniles.
This paper studies the quay crane scheduling problem (QCSP) from two aspects: the task dispatch and quantity configuration of quay cranes.
Specifically, we fit simulated data to the distributions for correct and incorrect responses, as well as the pattern of errors made, in a traditional "relative quantity" task.
Thus, we suggest that continuous learning and training stimuli might enhance the retention of a complex learning task like the quantity judgment, based on a matching to sample arrangement.
One famous example is Piaget's conservation of liquid quantity task.
Lyxell et al. (2009) measured prosodic perceptual ability with 2-alternative forced choice identification tasks involving vowel quantity and word stress contrasts.
For example, Kurowski et al. [ 24] developed a model to forecast human resources in Tanzania based on three elements: services quantity, tasks and productivity, which considers the possibility of projecting human resources to expand the coverage of Millennium Development Goals interventions.
To quantify tacit knowledge (experience) in optimization decision for expert recommendation, experience was defined as a probability, which is relevant to two random variables: quantity of task successfully implemented (strength) and quantity of task failed (stress), and experience is defined as the probability that the former (strength) is larger than the latter (stress).
