Early Mental Multiplication Performance and the Role of Relational Knowledge in Mastering Combinations Involving "Two."

Baroody, Arthur J.

Learning and Instruction, v3 n2 p93-111 1993

Using R. S. Siegler's retrieval-required task, 19 male and 22 female third graders were examined before they had been introduced to multiplication in school. Examination of error patterns suggests that the basic assumptions of the distribution-of-associations model need to be tested directly and that the retrieval-required task confounds retrieved and nonretrieved responses.
