    "abstract": "Many studies have investigated the roles that area and number\nplay in visual quantity estimation. Yet, recent work has\nshown that perceived area is not equal to true, mathematical\narea. This simple fact calls into question many findings in\nnumerical cognition and suggests a new theoretical\nperspective: that area estimation plays a dominant role in\nvisual quantity estimation. We examine two ‘case studies’:\n(1) a ‘general magnitude’ account of visual quantity\nestimation, which posits bi-directional influences between\narea and number. In contrast with prior work, controlling for\nperceived area reveals a unidirectional relation between area\nand number (Experiments 1 and 2), and (2) acuity of area and\nnumber estimation (Experiment 3). We show how an\nunderstanding of the perception of area forces a reevaluation\nof several findings concerning the relative acuity of number\nand area estimation. Combined, and in contrast to many prior\nstudies, our findings suggest a dominant role of area in visual\nquantity estimation.",
