Mapping number words to approximate magnitudes: associative learning or structure mapping?
نویسندگان
چکیده
How do we link number words to the magnitudes they represent? We investigated the roles of associative learning and structure mapping in linking the Approximate Number System to number words. Four tasks demonstrated that individuals have strong associative links between magnitudes and number words for relatively small sets, but have weak associative links for larger sets. These results point to multiple mechanisms for the mapping of number words to magnitudes.

Inference and association in children's early numerical estimation.
How do children map number words to the numerical magnitudes they represent? Recent work in adults has shown that two distinct mechanisms-structure mapping and associative mapping-connect number words to nonlinguistic numerical representations (Sullivan & Barner, ). This study investigated the development of number word mappings, and the roles of inference and association in children's estimati...
متن کاملChildren's Use of Structure Mapping in Numerical Estimation
How do young children connect number words to the magnitudes they represent? Here, we test whether 5to 7year-old children, like adults, use Structure Mappings (SM) to link number words and approximate magnitudes. We show that 6and 7-year-olds’ number line estimates are recalibrated in response to the distribution of numbers being estimated, providing evidence for SM in these older children. We ...

The experiments reported by Le Corre and Carey were designed to test a form of the analog mapping hypothesis, but not to test the hypothesis advanced by Gallistel and Gelman (1992). Our hypothesis is that very early in the prolonged process of learning verbal counting children recognize that the structure and function of verbal counting are the same as the structure and function of their pre-ve...
