Subitizing and Mathematics Performance in Early Childhood
نویسندگان
چکیده
Subitizing is thought to be an important precursor to mathematical development in young children. However, evidence for this relationship is sparse. This study examined the relationship between subitizing range and mathematical performance in kindergarten-aged children. The large sample included typically-developing children from urban backgrounds. Findings indicated a significant link between subitizing ability and mathematical skills.

Preschool predictors of mathematics in first grade children with autism spectrum disorder.
Up till now, research evidence on the mathematical abilities of children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been scarce and provided mixed results. The current study examined the predictive value of five early numerical competencies for four domains of mathematics in first grade. Thirty-three high-functioning children with ASD were followed up from preschool to first grade and compared wit...

متن کاملNeural measures reveal a fixed item limit in subitizing.
For centuries, it has been known that humans can rapidly and accurately enumerate small sets of items, a process referred to as subitizing. However, there is still active debate regarding the mechanisms that mediate this ability. For example, some have argued that subitizing reflects the operation of a fixed-capacity individuation mechanism that enables concurrent access to a small number of it...
متن کاملSubitizing and Finger Gnosis Predict Calculation Fluency in Adults
Both subitizing, the ability to enumerate small sets without counting, and finger gnosis, the ability to mentally represent one’s fingers, have been found to predict calculation skill in children (Penner-Wilger et al., 2007, 2009). In the current paper, we examined whether these same relations hold for young adults. Consistent with the developmental data, both subitizing and finger gnosis were ...
متن کاملMathematics anxiety affects counting but not subitizing during visual enumeration.
Individuals with mathematics anxiety have been found to differ from their non-anxious peers on measures of higher-level mathematical processes, but not simple arithmetic. The current paper examines differences between mathematics anxious and non-mathematics anxious individuals in more basic numerical processing using a visual enumeration task. This task allows for the assessment of two systems ...
