Developmental and Individual Differences in Children's Area Judgment Rules.
Silverman, Irwin W.; Paskewitz, Sabra Lee
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v46 n1 p74-87 Aug 1988
Investigated whether children in kindergarten and grades 2 and 4 applied one- or two-dimensional rules in rating areas of rectangles, triangles, and ellipses. A majority of subjects produced judgments consistent with one of the rules. The findings contradict Piaget's claim that young children are limited to one-dimensional judgments. (SKC)
