Despite baseline differences in sensitivity, children (black bars) and adults (white bars) were able to indicate which group had the largest oranges, on average, even when that group had lower numerosity, density, and contrast (the group of six oranges, left bars). However, extraction of mean size was not completely independent of these orthogonal visual cues; both children and adults correctly indicated which group had larger oranges more often when that group had higher numerosity, density, and contrast.
