The Relationship between the Order-Irrelevance Principle and Counting Skill.
Baroody, Arthur J.
Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v24 n5 p415-27 Nov 1993
A study with 29 preschoolers showed that a statistically significant number of them successfully reassigned tags in counting (ordinality) but failed to predict that differently ordered counts would produce the same outcome (cardinality). Results indicated that children may not entirely understand implications of their counting actions. (Contains 23 references.) (Author/MDH)
