=Overview=

Cognitive psychological research of numerosity is called upon as an aid to explicating the relationship between our conceptual experience of scale and numerosity, or the counting experience. Vice a versa, since any metric varies drastically across scales, we seek to explicate our attitude to large number changes in an effort to clarify how they illuminate the reality of living our superscale lives.

The popular term, numeracy, of innumeracy, is recent, popularized by John Allen Paulos in his book. The more precise term is numerosity.
