Correspondence Development And Its Mediating Effect Between Inhibitory Control And Number Concept In Children Aged 4 To 6

One-to-one correspondence is the pairwise relationship between the elements of two sets;In one’s mind,it is embodied in such a schema that the original correspondence can remain constant in the mind through transformation even though the perception has changed.Once the corresponding schema is formed,the subject can directly compare and judge whether the two sets are equivalent or not.The corresponding test is usually nested in the quantitative and size comparison task: the quantitative comparison task is given to see whether the subject directly utilizes the corresponding relationship.An effective matching task should exclude the "counting strategy",which has not been paid enough attention in the existing matching research.In view of this,this paper conducted a preliminary study before the formal test of children’s corresponding schema,compared and screened the corresponding test tasks,specifically compared the masked task and the non-masked task,and compared their differences in excluding the "counting strategy".The results showed that,compared with the unmasked task,the masked task was more capable of excluding the "counting strategy" and more effective in detecting whether the corresponding schema was formed.In the existing corresponding studies,there are few studies focusing on age trends.Most of the research on the development of correspondence focuses on the time sequence of correspondence and counting.At the same time,some studies have not fully examined the effectiveness of the test tasks,leading to different conclusions from different studies.In study 1,the corresponding developmental status of children aged 4-6 was studied by using the corresponding test task screened by pre-research,and the age trend of corresponding developmental status was discussed and the turning age of corresponding developmental status was preliminarily discussed.The results showed that the development of corresponding schema of 4-6 years old children increased with age,and the turning age was 5 years old.Correspondence is the key to the formation of the concept of number,and keeping the correspondence in mind itself needs to deal with the irrelevant superiority excitement brought by the impact of perception.Inhibition of dominant excitement is a function of inhibitory control.Correspondence influences the formation of number concepts,and it is also influenced by inhibition control.There may be a mediating effect between inhibition control and number concepts.According to the literature collected so far,there is no study to examine this mediating effect.In study 2,this paper uses the selected corresponding test task to measure correspondence,the color Stroop task to measure inhibition control,and the development of the concept of test measurement number by the conservation of the number of pieces in Go.The mediating effect of correspondence between inhibition control and the development of number concept was tested.The results show that inhibition control has a significant effect on logarithm conservation,correspondence has a significant effect on logarithm conservation,correspondence plays a partial mediating role between inhibition control and number conservation.
