A Test with Selected Topological Properties of Piaget's Hypothesis Concerning the Spatial Representation of the Young Child

Peer reviewed

Martin, J. Larry – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1976

Research designed to determine whether the phenomena observed by Piaget were task specific was performed. The results did not confirm Piaget's notion that topological concepts develop prior to the concepts of Euclidean geometry. (SD)

An Analysis of Some of Piaget's Topological Tasks from a Mathematical Point of View

Peer reviewed

Martin, J. Larry – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1976

Piaget's theories concerning the child's development of spatial concepts are considered in comparison with related mathematical concepts. The analysis yielded discrepancies between Piagetian and mathematical use of terms. (SD)
