尽管人类学家以关注日常生活中的小细节而自豪，但实验心理学家的研究规模甚至更小--研究婴儿凝视时间和发音速度等变量。本文认为，这些不同的方法的规模和选择性的研究对象的影响，特别是集中在皮拉哈和中国的数字认知的研究。每个人都承认文化因素，比如在不同的语言中使用不同的计数术语集，可能会影响数字思维。但是，心理学家倾向于限制规模，消除变量，包括文化变量，以便能够伪造他们的主张，这与人类学倾向于纳入变量以获得整体性是不协调的。
Although anthropologists pride themselves on paying attention to the small details of everyday life, experimental psychologists arguably have an even smaller scale of research – examining variables such as infant staring time and the speed at which words are pronounced. This paper considers the impact of these different approaches to scale and selectivity in research objects, focusing in particular on studies of Piraha and Chinese numerical cognition. Everyone accepts that cultural factors, such as the use of different counting term sets in different languages, may influence numerical thought. But the tendency of psychologists to restrict scale and eliminate variables, including cultural ones, in order to be able to falsify their claims sits uncomfortably with the anthropological tendency to incorporate variables in order to be holistic.
