Subitizing is a superpower we all possess, but it takes some practice to really be able to unlock all the potential.
Every time I see a photo of a litter of kittens, I end up counting the kittens. I suppose I wouldn't have to do that if there were only three of them.
True, but to paraphrase Rip Torn, sometimes you do things because counting kittens is fun.
I wonder if we subitize when we speed read, reading sentences or even groups of sentences rather than words.
Apparently there is a broad category called "chunking" that both acts fit into. Very interesting observation, Eli!
See, your major mistake here was assuming I make "informed decisions."
I want to leave this comment alone because it's kind of perfect all by itself, but I cannot resist our daily banter.
