When Do Children Trust Counting as a Basis for Relative Number Judgments?

Cowan, Richard

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v43 n3 p328-45 Jun 1987

Four experiments were conducted to study explanations of why children make relative number judgments inconsistent with their counting. Results are discussed in relation to judgments children make when they use matching, and in light of Klahr and Wallace's (1973) account of number development. (PCB)
