Yemimah A. King; Sarah H. Eason; Robert J. Duncan; Arielle Borovsky; David J. Purpura – Child Development, 2025
This study, involving 120 children (M[subscript age] = 4.25; SD = 0.83; 53% Female, 49% White, 23% multiracial, 16% Black, 9% Asian American, and 3% Latine) and their parents, examined parent talk constructs and their relation to children's early academic skills in 2021. Parents' talk was best represented as a three-factor structure (general,…

Sevim Nuraydin; Johannes Stricker; Michael Schneider – Child Development, 2024
The number line estimation task is frequently used to measure children's numerical magnitude understanding. It is unclear whether the resulting straight, horizontal, left-to-right-oriented estimate patterns indicate task constraints or children's intuitive number--space mapping. Three- to six-year-old children (N = 72, M[subscript age] = 4.89, 56%…

Rinaldi, Louisa J.; Smees, Rebecca; Alvarez, James; Simner, Julia – Child Development, 2020
This study examined how colored educational tools improve children's numerosity ("number sense") and/or mathematics. We tested children 6-10 years (n = 3,236) who had been exposed to colored numbers from the educational tools "Numicon" (Oxford University Press, 2018) or "Numberjacks" (Ellis, 2006), which map colors to…

Individual differences in children's number knowledge arise early and are associated with variation in parents' number talk. However, there exists little experimental evidence of a causal link between parent number talk and children's number knowledge. Parent number talk was manipulated by creating picture books which parents were asked to read…
