-
(not-comparable) Numerical in some ways (e.g. rank order) but not others (such as supporting arithmetic operations).
it would be tempting to show that he quite rapidly applies to it intuitive operators (or intuitive quantifiers) of the following type: "an apple", "1 apple", "apples", "the apples" (transition from unity to plurality), some apples " ( restricted plurality ) , " many apples " " few apples " (pseudonumerical plurality ) , "no apples" ( a specific null class: no apples no bread), etc.
1977, Centre for Educational Research and Innovation, Jean Piaget, Piagetian Inventories: The Experiments of Jean Piaget, page 22:A general accurate pseudonumerical technique for the analysis of single and multilayer open planar resonators loaded with dielectric slabs is given that can be used to obtain inversion curves.
1995, International Aerospace Abstracts - Volume 35, Issues 7-9, page 1910:An example of how this is done would be to induce responses to a statement by asking people to, for example, agree or disagree with the statement by discriminating between a number (typically 5, 7, or 9) of numerical (or pseudonumerical) points.
2016, Brendan Wallace, Alastair Ross, Beyond Human Error: Taxonomies and Safety Science, page 59:In many cases pseudonumerical scales have been set up to resemble category scales, but pseudonumerical scales really cut across different sensory experiences, mixing qualities.
