The Role of Spatial Arrangement and Heterogeneity in the Development of Concepts of Numerical Equivalence

Siegel, Linda S.

Canadian Journal of Psychology, 27, 4, 351-355, Dec 73

The development of concepts of equivalence was studied in a group of 256 children, ages 4-8. The relative difficulty of these concepts is interpreted in terms of the young child's difficulty in understanding spatial arrangement and heterogeneity as irrelevant to numerical size. (Author/KM)
