Comparisons of digits and dot patterns.
Abstract
The process of numeric comparison was investigated. Four groups of 10 5s were asked to judge which of two digits or which of two dot patterns was numerically larger. Stimuli were either digits or dot patterns in familiar, unfamiliar, or random configurations. Mean reaction time was systematically related to the difference between logarithms of the stimulus values. A single numeric comparison process gave good account of the data for all Stimulus types. This process was well described by a random walk model with variable step size and fixed boundaries. Reaction time matrices were fur-ther analyzed using Kruskal's 1964 multidimensional scaling program MD-SCAL, and the recovered stimulus configurations were successfully simulated from a simple version of the model. Moyer and Landauer (1967) presented two single digits simultaneously and asked 5s to respond as rapidly as possible to the digit that was numerically larger. Reaction

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
