Area-Matching Strategies Used by Young Children.
Silverman, Irwin W.; And Others
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v38 n3 p464-74 Dec 1984

Subjects matched one dimension of the rectangle to one side of the square suggesting that area matches seemed to be based on a side-matching strategy. (Author/AS)
