The Numbers 1 to 5 in the Development of Children's Number Concepts.
Yoshida, Hajime; Kuriyama, Kazuhiro
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v41 n2 p251-66 Apr 1986
Proposes the hypothesis that preschoolers have number concepts based on the numbers 1-5 rather than on the decimal structure. Results suggest that children understand numbers to 5 as a privileged anchor. Proposes a new model for a representational system of numbers. (Author/DR)
