A Preliminary Study On The Mechanism Of The Formation Of Number Concept

The conservation is the standard that concept form really, it means that the reversible has come. Classic Piagetian School explained conservation with the reversible, but they could not explain why there were different performance with the same conserved structure under different perceptual conditions.Specifically, the formation of number concept also can not be explained only with reversible. Now, what psychological factors are there, besides the reversible of thinking? --- This question is about the target state of the formation of number concept.In the formation process of number concept, the key is the formation of the corresponding idea. The children can count correctly, Does it mean the corresponding idea has been formed? To promote the formation of the corresponding idea, can the way to tell directly achieve the desired effect?89 children aged 4-7 were tested. childrens counting, corresponding idea and number concept were investigated with the clinical interview method; interventions on the formation of the corresponding idea were given conducted ; and childrens level of maturity of inhibitory control were investigated with the task of the "day - night" stroop style . The results show ----1. The children can count correctly, but do not sure have the corresponding idea;2. For the formation of the corresponding idea, the training way to tell directly is not significant effect ;3. The formation of number concept are significantly correlation with inhibitory control, the level of inhibitory control can positively predict the formation of number concept of children.
