Torbeyns, Joke; Schneider, Michael; Xin, Ziqiang; Siegler, Robert S. – Grantee Submission, 2015
Numerical understanding and arithmetic skills are easier to acquire for whole numbers than fractions. The "integrated theory of numerical development" posits that, in addition to these differences, whole numbers and fractions also have important commonalities. In both, students need to learn how to interpret number symbols in terms of…

Ng, Florrie Fei-Yin; Pomerantz, Eva M.; Deng, Ciping – Child Development, 2014
Chinese parents exert more control over children than do American parents. The current research examined whether this is due in part to Chinese parents' feelings of worth being more contingent on children's performance. Twice over a year, 215 mothers and children (M[subscript age] = 12.86 years) in China and the United States (European and African…
