Number Sense & how we unlearn the intuition of a log scale

My favorite science/wonder reporting is a WNYC program called RadioLab.

One episode called Innate Numbers discusses how children in our culture are trained out of an intuitive and innate understanding of the logarithmic scale and into integers and linear thinking.  This is based on research and speculation by Stanislas Dehaene who wrote The Number Sense and Susan Carey.
