The preference for rounding
Various evidence points to a speaker preference for communicating numerical information approximately rather than precisely, e.g. by reporting the time as ‘half past three’ when one’s watch reads 3:27. It has been proposed that the tendency to round reflects a strategy aimed at lowering processing costs for the hearer. Focusing on the domain of clock times, we report on two experiments which demonstrate that round values are in fact recalled and manipulated more quickly and accurately than non- round values, and further that this advantage is due not only to numerical roundness itself, but also to participation on a coarse- grained scale.
