Grouping strategies in numerosity perception between intrinsic and extrinsic grouping cues

Abstract The number of items in an array can be quickly and accurately estimated by dividing the array into subgroups, in a strategy termed “groupitizing.” For example, when memorizing a telephone number, it is better to do so by divide the number into several segments. Different forms of visual gro...
