Direct linkMatthews, Percival G.; Lewis, Mark R. – Cognitive Science, 2017
Although many researchers theorize that primitive numerosity processing abilities may lay the foundation for whole number concepts, other classes of numbers, like fractions, are sometimes assumed to be inaccessible to primitive architectures. This research presents evidence that the automatic processing of nonsymbolic magnitudes affects processing…

Download full textKusmaryono, Imam; Jupriyanto; Kusumaningsih, Widya – European Journal of Educational Research, 2021
This article highlights the main ideas that underlie the differences in potential pragmatic knowledge constructs students experience when solving problems, between the zone of proximal development (ZPD) and the zone of potential construction (ZPC). This qualitative research is based on a phenomenological approach to finding the meaning of things…

Mix, Kelly S.; Levine, Susan C.; Cheng, Yi-Ling; Young, Christopher J.; Hambrick, David Z.; Konstantopoulos, Spyros – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2017
In a previous study, Mix et al. (2016) reported that spatial skill and mathematics were composed of 2 highly correlated, domain-specific factors, with a few cross-domain loadings. The overall structure was consistent across grade (kindergarten, 3rd grade, 6th grade), but the cross-domain loadings varied with age. The present study sought to…

Clements, M. A.; Del Campo, Gina – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1989
Investigates children's cognitive structures with respect to concepts one-half, one-quarter, and one-third as these apply to continuous circular and triangular regions. Examines the effect of an intervention program with 21 children in grades three through six. (YP)
