Invariance of Ratio: The Case of Children's Anticipatory Scheme for Constancy of Taste.
Harel, Guershon; And Others
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v25 n4 p324-45 Jul 1994
Studied invariance of ratio through an investigation of 16 sixth graders' understanding of taste constancy. Results showed an absence of taste constancy among the children and that they based their judgment of the relative strength of the taste of two samples from the same mixture on extraneous variables.
