An Attentional Model for the Conceptual Construction of Units and Number.

Von Glasersfeld, Ernst

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v12 n2 p83-94 Mar 1981

An outline of a model that provides a new perspective on the conceptual foundations of mathematics and a new approach for the study of children's acquisition of numerical operations is proposed. Attention is viewed as a pulse-like succession of moments and is supported by recent data from neurophysiology. (MP)
