The Acquisition and Use of an Adaptive Strategy for Estimating Numerosity.
Verschaffel, Lieven; De Corte, Erik; Lamote, Christian; Dherdt, Nele
European Journal of Psychology of Education, v13 n3 p347-70 Sep 1998
Investigates the development of an adaptive strategy for the estimation of numerosity from the theoretical perspective of strategic change. Hypothesizes that there will be a developmental difference in the adaptive use of estimating strategies with age and that this adaptation will produce better estimation. Shows support for both hypotheses. (DSK)
