The Preference for Rounding
The preference for rounding, i.e. for communicating numerical values as round numbers rather than exact values has been approached experimentally, in terms of the notion of processing costs. Granularity has been taken as a hypothesized source of the preference for using round numbers in expressing times. This is due to the fact that in expressing times granularity can be dissociated from roundness. In two reaction time experiments effects of roundness have been statistically significant, while the effects of granularity were significant only in the experiment where the participants were asked to reason with times (subtract). These results have not demonstrated the advantage for approximate interpretation itself, but that rounding accrued domain specific granular scales.
