This lecture examines the large number system in humans and animals, highlighting Weber's Law as a driving principle. The discussion covers experimental evidence for this law in number discrimination and estimation, and proposes that it arises from the brain's limited precision when representing a wide range of quantities. Furthermore, the lecture explores individual differences in large number processing, demonstrating a correlation between Weber ratios and mathematical performance.
