Number adaptation: A bibliography
While we are skeptical about the existence of number adaptation, we think that the idea that humans perceptually adapt to number is a fascinating idea and have compiled this page as a resource for other researchers interested in the topic. We aim to list all experimental reports of perceptual number adaptation published since David Burr and John Ross’s groundbreaking 2008 paper on the topic in Current Biology. Please let us know if you spot any omissions — we’re always happy to update the list!
