Making sense of early false-belief understanding.
We address the puzzle about early belief ascription: young children fail elicited-response false-belief tasks, but they demonstrate spontaneous false-belief understanding. Based on recent converging evidence, we articulate a pragmatic framework to solve this puzzle. Young children do understand the contents of others' false belief, but they are overwhelmed when they must simultaneously make sen...
متن کاملFoundational number sense: A framework for analysing early number-related teaching
In this paper, by means of an extensive review of the literature, we discuss the development of a framework for analysing the opportunities, both implicit and explicit, that grade one students receive for acquiring those number-related understandings necessary for later mathematical achievement but which do not occur without formal instruction. The framework, which we have called foundational n...
متن کاملPsychophysical evidence for the number sense
It is now clear that most animals, including humans, possess an ability to rapidly estimate number. Some have questioned whether this ability arises from dedicated numerosity mechanisms, or is derived indirectly from judgements of density or other attributes. We describe a series of psychophysical experiments, largely using adaptation techniques, which demonstrate clearly the existence of a num...
متن کاملUnderstanding the vertical equity judgements underpinning health inequality measures.
The choice of income-related health inequality measures in comparative studies is often determined by custom and analytical concerns, without much explicit consideration of the vertical equity judgements underlying alternative measures. This note employs an inequality map to illustrate how these judgements determine the ranking of populations by health inequality. In particular, it is shown tha...
متن کاملNumber Sense Disambiguation
Word Sense Disambiguation is a well studied field, with a range of successful methods. However, there has been little work on examining the analogue for numbers, classifying them into senses (‘year’, ‘date’, ‘telephone number’ etc.) based on their context potentially useful for Text to Speech and Information Extraction systems. We extend the semi-supervised Decision List model described by Davi...
