This study examined how book features influence talk during shared book reading. We used data from a study in which parent-child dyads (n = 157; child's M[subscript age] = 43.99 months; 88 girls, 69 boys; 91.72% of parents self-reported as white) were randomly assigned to read two number books. The focus was comparison talk (i.e., talk in which…

Guillaume, Mathieu; Roy, Ethan; Van Rinsveld, Amandine; Starkey, Gillian S.; Uncapher, Melina R.; McCandliss, Bruce D. – Child Development, 2023
Understanding the cognitive processes central to mathematical development is crucial to addressing systemic inequities in math achievement. We investigate the "Groupitizing" ability in 1209 third to eighth graders (mean age at first timepoint = 10.48, 586 girls, 39.16% Asian, 28.88% Hispanic/Latino, 18.51% White), a process that captures…

McNeil, Nicole M.; Hornburg, Caroline Byrd; Devlin, Brianna L.; Carrazza, Cristina; McKeever, Mary O. – Child Development, 2019
Experts claim that individual differences in children's formal understanding of mathematical equivalence have consequences for mathematics achievement; however, evidence is lacking. A prospective, longitudinal study was conducted with a diverse sample of 112 children from a midsized city in the Midwestern United States (M[subscript age] [second…

Fuchs, Lynn S.; Geary, David C.; Compton, Donald L.; Fuchs, Douglas; Hamlett, Carol L.; Bryant, Joan D. – Child Development, 2010
Contributions of domain-general and domain-specific numerical competencies were assessed on first graders' number combination skill (NC) and word-problem skill (WP). Students (n = 205) between 5 and 7 years of age were assessed on 2 aspects of numerosity, 8 domain-general abilities, NC, and WP. Both aspects of numerosity predicted NC when…

Peer reviewedWeinreb, Neil; Brainerd, Charles J. – Child Development, 1975
Three key predictions of Piaget's groupement model of middle childhood cognition were examined in the speed and time concept areas with a total of 93 children in grades 1, 2, and 3. (ED)

Peer reviewedPosner, Jill K. – Child Development, 1982
Investigates development of mathematical concepts among West African children from an agricultural tribe (Baoule) and a merchant society (Dioula). Baoule and Dioula children at three age levels participated: Preschoolers, 5-6 years; 7- to 8-year-olds with one year of school; and schooled and unschooled 9- to 10-year-olds. Experimental tasks…

Peer reviewedOffenbach, Stuart I.; And Others – Child Development, 1984
Examines hypotheses and strategies used by children at the kindergarten, second-, fourth- and sixth-grade levels in making proportional judgements. The task involved 36 trials in which the child had to choose between two groups to obtain a target-color "chip." Results generally conformed to the developmental sequence proposed by Piaget…
