In a recent paper by Casasanto and Pitt (2019), the authors addressed a debate regarding the role of order and magnitude in SNARC and SNARC-like effects. Their position is that all these effects can be explained by order, while magnitude could only account for a subset of evidence. Although we agree that order can probably explain the majority of these effects, in this commentary we argue that magnitude is still relevant, since there is evidence that cannot be explained based on ordinality alone. We argue that SNARC-like effects can occur for magnitudes not clearly characterized by overlearned ordinality and that magnitude can prevail on order, when the two are pitted against each other. Finally, we propose that different interpretations of the role of order and magnitude depend on the interaction of stimulus properties and task demands.

幅度和顺序都与 SNARC 和类似 SNARC 的效应相关：对 Casasanto 和 Pitt 的评论（2019 年）

在 Casasanto 和 Pitt (2019) 最近的一篇论文中，作者讨论了关于顺序和数量在 SNARC 和类似 SNARC 效应中的作用的辩论。他们的立场是，所有这些影响都可以用顺序来解释，而幅度只能解释证据的一个子集。尽管我们同意顺序可能可以解释这些影响的大部分，但在本评论中，我们认为量级仍然相关，因为有证据不能仅基于顺序性来解释。我们认为，类似 SNARC 的效应可能发生在没有明确以过度学习序数为特征的量级上，并且当两者相互对抗时，量级可以按顺序占优势。最后，我们提出对顺序和量级作用的不同解释取决于刺激特性和任务需求的相互作用。
