制定并验证了算术能力测验。在这方面的数量识字的个体差异的后果,然后确定的注意,并依赖于召回,嵌入在印刷的新闻报道中的数字量。结果发现,高算术能力的人回忆频率和比率更正确,无论是在精确和近似的条件下,比低算术能力的人。这种影响在受访者的性别中是一致的。它也与常用的数字量表示格式一致。低量化素养的人对数字量的处理能力较差,特别是对风险和受益可能性的依赖性估计,被认为是根据理论,这些人更依赖于对事件发生率的直觉评估。
A test of arithmetic aptitude was developed and validated. The consequences of individual differences in this aspect of quantitative literacy were then determined for attention to, and dependent recall of, numeric quantities embedded in printed news reports. It was found that persons of high arithmetic aptitude recalled frequencies and ratios more correctly, both in precise and approximate terms, than did persons of low arithmetic aptitude. This effect was consistent across gender of respondent. It was also consistent across commonly employed presentational formats of numeric quantities. The inferior processing of numeric quantities by persons of low quantitative literacy, especially the dependent estimation of risk and benefit likelihoods, is considered in terms of theories that project these persons' greater reliance on intuitive assessments of the incidence of occurrences.
