Abstract: There is evidence to suggest that all numerical formats are not processed by the
same internal analog representation. The multiple analog representation models of
numerical processing propose that there are individual analog representations per
numerical format. Our research has expanded on these models in assessing whether there
are multiple analog representations within a single numerical format. The data suggest
that relative frequencies in fact do involve multiple internal quantity representations.
