Direct linkSevim Nuraydin; Johannes Stricker; Michael Schneider – Child Development, 2024
The number line estimation task is frequently used to measure children's numerical magnitude understanding. It is unclear whether the resulting straight, horizontal, left-to-right-oriented estimate patterns indicate task constraints or children's intuitive number--space mapping. Three- to six-year-old children (N = 72, M[subscript age] = 4.89, 56%…

Koponen, Tuire; Eklund, Kenneth; Heikkilä, Riikka; Salminen, Jonna; Fuchs, Lynn; Fuchs, Douglas; Aro, Mikko – Child Development, 2020
This study examines the core predictors of the covariance in reading and arithmetic fluency and the domain-general cognitive skills that explain the core predictors and covariance. Seven-year-old Finnish children (N = 200) were assessed on rapid automatized naming (RAN), phonological awareness, letter knowledge, verbal counting, number writing,…

Susperreguy, María Inés; Di Lonardo Burr, Sabrina; Xu, Chang; Douglas, Heather; LeFevre, Jo-Anne – Child Development, 2020
This study investigated the longitudinal associations between children's early mathematics and their home numeracy environment (HNE). Chilean children from families who varied widely in socioeconomic status were assessed at the beginning and end of prekindergarten in 2016 (N = 419, M[subscript age] = 4:7 [years:months]), and at the end of…

Barner, David; Alvarez, George; Sullivan, Jessica; Brooks, Neon; Srinivasan, Mahesh; Frank, Michael C. – Child Development, 2016
Mental abacus (MA) is a technique of performing fast, accurate arithmetic using a mental image of an abacus; experts exhibit astonishing calculation abilities. Over 3 years, 204 elementary school students (age range at outset: 5-7 years old) participated in a randomized, controlled trial to test whether MA expertise (a) can be acquired in standard…

Investigates which aspects of the mother behavior in interaction would be related, and in what way, to the child's acquisition of number conservation as a criterion measure of later cognitive development. (MP)

Peer reviewedSaxe, Geoffrey B. – Child Development, 1981
Two studies indicate that Oksapmin children progress from premediational to mediational phases in their use of body parts to compare and reproduce number and that this change generally occurs prior to the development of concepts of number conservation. A third study shows that this general change is manifested in culturally specific ways.…

Peer reviewedPaik, Jae H.; Mix, Kelly S. – Child Development, 2003
Two experiments tested claim that transparency of Korean fraction names promotes fraction concepts. Findings indicated that U.S. and Korean first- and second-graders erred similarly on a fraction-identification task, by treating fractions as whole numbers. Korean children performed at chance when whole-number representation was included but…
