About this Item

Neuware - This book deals primarily with the preschool child's conception of number and how that conception develops. This central concern is, however, embedded in a larger framework, namely, an overriding interest in early cognitive capacities and their relationship to subsequent capacities. The initial chapters develop this broader framework.

Synopsis

The authors report the results of some half dozen years of research into when and how children acquire numerical skills. They provide a new set of answers to these questions, and overturn much of the traditional wisdom on the subject.
