The mean absolute error score (top panel) and the mean standard deviation (bottom panel) according to the denominator size and the ratio format by age group.

<p>Error bars represent the 95% confidence intervals corrected according to the method suggested by Cousineau [<a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0082002#B44" target="_blank">44</a>] for repeated measures.</p

Instance of stimulus for each ratio format and time course of a trial.

<p>Participants were asked to estimate fractions as well as the ratio between the number of orange dots and the total number of dots. Sets were made up of either homogeneous dots (without controlling for the ratio of surface areas) or heterogeneous dots (with such a control). Participants responded by filling a glass so that the ratio (water surface/total surface) was equal to the estimated ratio. The time line represents the time course of a trial. </p
