Relative and Absolute Thinking in Visual Estimation Processes.
Markovits, Zvia; Hershkowitz, Rina
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v32 n1 p29-47 Jan 1997
Investigates processes involved in visual estimation and processes of judgment in visual estimation situations involving proportional reasoning. Exposure to a unit in the Agam project, designed to enhance visual estimation capabilities, resulted in changes in the nine-year-old subjects' strategies, reflecting processes by which children overcome limited abilities to process visual information.
