Citations in the corpus
- Transfer between Picture Books and the Real World by Very Young Children (2008, background): “As with other types of symbolic artifacts, higher levels of perceptual similarity between symbol and referent make the referential relation more transparent, thereby helping children transfer information between symbol and referent (Callaghan, 2000; DeLoache, Kolstad, & Anderson, 1991 ).”
- What Makes Mathematics Manipulatives Effective? Lessons From Cognitive Science and Montessori Education (2015, background): “For instance, preschoolers are better able to find a hidden toy in a regularsized room when they are shown its location in a scale model with identical furniture than when they are shown the location in a scale model with generic furniture (DeLoache et al., 1991).”
- Factors affecting children's graphic symbol use in the third year (2000, background): “A problem in the previous studies (DeLoache, 1991, 1995; DeLoache & Burns, 1994; DeLoache et al., 1991, 1997; Harris et al., 1997), and in symbolic play studies that report children this age use replicas as symbols (e.g., Tomasello, Striano, & Rochat, 1999), is that children were always presented…”
- Natural Number and Natural Geometry (2011, background): “Like the Munduruku, children performed well when the target location was distinctive in color and shape, and they proved more sensitive to geometry when no distinctive landmarks were presented (see also [100]).”
- An Evolutionarily Informed Education Science (2008, background): “For humans, the initial ability to form these representations emerges by 3 years of age ( DeLoache, Kolstad, & Anderson, 1991 ), improves gradually through adolescence and often requires extensive exploration and exposure to the local environment to perfect ( Matthews, 1992 ).”
