Peer reviewedSilverman, Irwin W.; And Others – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1984
Varied conditions under which children aged four to five years matched the area of a rectangle with a given width or height to that of a square. Subjects matched one dimension of the rectangle to one side of the square suggesting that area matches seemed to be based on a side-matching strategy. (Author/AS)
