The Influence Of Different Shape's Figure On 4-7 Years Old Children's Size Perception

This research investigated that the different shape figure has influence on 4 -7 years old children's size perception , and inquiried into variety trend on size perception with the increasing age.The research consisted of two experiments.Experiment 1 objective figure is for a set of circulars with area of an ordered series of numbers of the grade, the equilateral triangles of the same area, exact squares and regular pentagons, for each.Experiment 2 objective figure is for circulars, equilateral triangles, exact squares and regular pentagons,one set for each.Subjects come from the Jinzhou kindergardens,128 people of prammary school 4-7 years old , each half of male and female.The accurate age is within the limits which is three months younger or older than the real age.Sight, hearing and intelligence are all normal.Each age set is examined by Experiment 1, then Experiment 2.Through the research the conclusions are the following:First, The figure shape significantly influenced 4-7 years old children's size perceptkm.The equilateral triangles influenced the children's size perception first, the exact squares secondly, the regular pentagons last.Second, The age hadly showed the significantly influence of the judgment of children's shape size perception.Third, The figure shapes significantly influenced the children's size perception difference threshold to the circulars and the equilateral triangles.The equilateral triangles' difference threshold is stronger than that of the circulars.on the the regular pentagons' accurate degree is the first, exact squares are the second, the accurate degree in equilateral triangles is the lowest.Last, the age obviously influenced the children's size perception difference threshold to the circulars and the equilateral triangles.The older, the lower.That is, with the increase of the age, the children's judgement to the different figure size becomes more accurate.
