Relations among Symmetry, Asymmetry, Perceptual Comprehension of Numerals by Kindergarten and First Grade Children.

Cheong, George S. C.

British Journal of Psychology, v71 pt2 p275-82 May 1980

This study of 73 children sought to determine if children's perceptual comprehension of numerals is higher when they are shown symmetrical rather than asymmetrical arrangements of pegs, and if comprehension scores related to age, sex, and/or social class. The main hypothesis was rejected but some age and class differences were found. (SJL)
