    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Despite a heated debate regarding a cognitive mechanism of magnitude representation, little has been done to di-rectly compare numerical and non-numerical estimation and provide a unified account of the two processes. In the current study,we examined estimation of numerical and non-numerical quantities on a continuum using various psychophysical functions.Inconsistent with the proportion reasoning and measurement skills accounts, estimates of both numerical and non-numericalquantities were better predicted by the logarithmic-linear model than by cyclic power models. Furthermore, individual dif-ferences in the degree of logarithmic compression was highly correlated over tasks, whereas bias measures from competingmodels did not show such associations. These findings suggest that estimation of both numerical and non-numerical magnitudeis processed via shared representation systems that are logarithmically or linearly constructed.",
