We propose that map reading can be construed as a form of analogical mapping. We tested
2 predictions that follow from this claim: First, young children's patterns of performance in …

In the past, researchers have shown that the individual components of episodic memory (ie
“what,”“where,” and “when”) may emerge at different points in development. Specifically …

What can false memories tell us about the structure of mental representations of arithmetic
word problems? The semantic congruence model describes the central role of world …

The goal was to specify the developmental trajectory of cardinal, ordinal, and spatial
relational language comprehension and production. One hundred sixty-four 3-, 4-, and 5 …

There is an ongoing debate in the scientific community regarding the nature and role of the
mental representations involved in solving arithmetic word problems. In this study, we took a …

We argue that what we count has a crucial impact on how we count, to the extent that even
adults may have difficulty using elementary mathematical notions in concrete situations …

The goal of this study was to understand the development of ordinal and spatial language
during the preschool years. One hundred twenty-nine 3-and 4-year-old children searched …

Toddlers performed a spatial mapping task in which they were required to learn the location
of a hidden object in a vertical array and then transpose this location information 90 to a …

The primary goal of this study was to specify age-related improvements in young children's
use of the complex spatial terms between and middle in response to prompting and …

Can children systematically search for information? To address this question, I merged
established search paradigms into a facilitative, simple search paradigm. In the Finding …
