School-aged children erroneously think that 1.45 is larger 1.5 because 45 is larger than 5.
Using a negative priming paradigm, we investigated whether the ability to compare the …

A major source of errors in decimal magnitude comparison tasks is the inappropriate
application of whole number rules. Specifically, when comparing the magnitude of decimal …

For children, adolescents and educated adults, comparing fractions with common
numerators (eg, 4/5 vs. 4/9) is more challenging than comparing fractions with common …

Children and adults often have difficulties comparing decimal magnitudes. Although
individuals attempt to reconcile decimals with prior whole-number and fraction knowledge …

When students start learning decimals, they may incorrectly apply features of their prior
numerical knowledge (eg, whole-number or fraction rules). However, because whole …

Adapting a numerical comparison task to a negative priming paradigm, we aimed to provide
new evidence that inhibitory control processes are involved in numerical comparison. We …

Introduction: Number sense has been systematically measured using dot comparison tasks.
However, recent studies have reported that performance on dot comparison might be …

We evaluated the possible inhibitory mechanism responsible for selecting arithmetic facts in
children from 8 or 9 years to 12 or 13 years of age. To this end, we used an adapted version …

The ability to choose the larger between two numbers reflects a mature understanding of the
magnitude associated with numerical symbols. The present study explores how the …

This paper examines the automatic processing of the numerical magnitude of two-digit
Arabic numbers using a Stroop-like task in school-aged children. Second, third, and fourth …
