...m as discussed in http://www.gseis.ucla.edu/courses/ed230bc1/cnotes4/trend1.html My subjects have counted dots: one dot, two dots, etc. up to 9 dots. The reaction time increases with increasing dots. The theory is that 1 up to 3 or 4 points can be counted relatively fast (a process known as "subiziting") but that is becomes slower at around 5 dots ("counting"). The question is when the slope changes. Most papers in the literature determine this by checking when it changes from being a linear trend to a quadratric trend. i.e deviation from linearity is seen as evidence that the sec...
