Children's Conformity to the Cardinality Rule as a Function of Set Size and Counting Accuracy.
Fuson, Karen C.; And Others
Child Development, v56 n6 p1429-36 Dec 1985
In three experiments involving sets containing from 2z to 19 objects, preschool children gave the last counted word as the answer to the question "How many objects are there?" The relationship between children's answering with the last counted word to a how-many question and counting accurately varied with set size. (Author/RH)
