Caillez, Francis; Kuntz, Pascale – Psychometrika, 1996
The geometric properties and Euclidean nature of dissimilarity coefficients defined on finite sets are discussed. Several particular transformations are presented that preserve Euclideanarity. The study of a one-parameter family adds to current knowledge of the metric and Euclidean structure of coefficients based on binary data. (SLD)

Learmonth, Amy E.; Newcombe, Nora S.; Huttenlocher, Janellen – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2001
Six experiments examined whether there were circumstances in which toddlers could use landmarks for spatial reorientation. Findings confirmed that geometric information is used for reorientation by toddlers, but give reason to doubt that the use of this information is achieved using a module impenetrable to nongeometric information.

Contreras, Jose – Mathematics Educator, 2007
In this article, I model how a problem-posing framework can be used to enhance our abilities to systematically generate mathematical problems by modifying the attributes of a given problem. The problem-posing model calls for the application of the following fundamental mathematical processes: proving, reversing, specializing, generalizing, and…

Harding, Ansie; Engelbrecht, Johann – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
This paper, the second of a two part article, expands on an idea that appeared in literature in the 1950s to show that by restricting the domain to those complex numbers that map onto real numbers, representations of functions other than the ones in the real plane are obtained. In other words, the well-known curves in the real plane only depict…
