Verbal-Nonverbal Conservation and Primary Mathematics
Riggs, F. T.; Nelson, L. D.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 7, 5, 315-320, Nov 76

Findings showed that verbal conservation scores were superior to nonverbal conservation scores and to intelligence scores for predicting achievement. (DT)
