A Test of Bryant's Claims Concerning the Young Child's Understanding of Quantitative Invariance

Katz, Helga; Beilin, Harry

Child Development, 47, 3, 877-880, Sep 76

An empirical test of alternative claims by Bryant and Piaget concerning the development of invariance of quantities in 3- and 4-year-old children was made. Results support the Piagetian thesis in showing that those subjects respond with stereotypic strategies rather than by an invariance of number principle. (Author/JMB)
