The Problem-Size Effect in Mental Addition: Developmental and Cross-national Trends.

Geary, David C.

Mathematical Cognition, v2 n1 p63-93 1996

Examined effects of problem size in mental addition among elementary children in China (n=104) and Missouri (n=105) and among undergraduates in China (n=26) and Missouri (n=35). For all Missouri subjects and Chinese through first grade, larger-valued numbers took longer and induced more errors. (Author/NBI)
