| Abstract: | This study identified from among 148 fourth grade pupils those who solved computations by a counting technique and compared them with noncounters. It was found that the habit is evenly distributed between boys and girls and that speed and accuracy are about the same for counters as for non-counters. Non-counters had significantly higher intelligence quotients and arithmetic achievement test grade equivalents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
