Tompkins, Virginia; Duffy, Kaylin; Haisley, Emily; Smith, Richard J. – Developmental Psychology, 2019

From Map Reading to Geometric Intuitions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Dillon, Moira R.; Spelke, Elizabeth S. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
The origins and development of our geometric intuitions have been debated for millennia. The present study links children's developing intuitions about the properties of planar triangles to their developing abilities to read purely geometric maps. Six-year-old children are limited when navigating by maps that depict only the sides of a triangle in…
