A Cognitive Taxonomy of Numeration Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we study the representational properties of numeration systems. We argue that numeration systems are distributed representationsÑrepresentations that are distributed across the internal mind and the external environment. We analyze number representations at four levels: dimensionality, dimensional representations, bases, and symbol representations. The representational properties at these four levels determine the representational efficiencies of numeration systems and the performance of numeric tasks. From this hierarchical structure, we derive a cognitive taxonomy that can classify most numeration systems.

The Representation of Numbers
This article explores the representational structures of numeration systems and the cognitive factors of the representational effect in numerical tasks, focusing on external representations and their interactions with internal representations. Numeration systems are analyzed at four levels: dimensionally, dimensional representations, bases, and symbol representations. The representational prope...

متن کاملEvaluating Four Corners Textbooks in Terms of Cognitive Processes Using Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy
This study evaluated 2 ELT textbooks (Four Corners, Book 2 and Four CornersBook 3) drawing on Bloom’s revised taxonomy (BRT); it examined the extent towhich these ELT textbooks could demonstrate the 6 cognitive categories of the BRT(i.e., remembering, understanding, applying, analyzing, evaluating, and creating) intheir activities. To this end, content analysis was done to obtain the frequency ...
متن کاملContent Evaluation of Iranian EFL Textbook Vision 1 Based on Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy of Cognitive Domain
Textbooks are considered as the common features of the classrooms and are important means to make contributions to curricula. Therefore, their contents are very essential to develop the adequate curriculum planning. A textbook analysis is a means by which different features of the textbooks can be analyzed and hence their effectiveness is validated. This study set out to evaluate the content of...
متن کاملCobham’s Theorem for Abstract Numeration Systems
Abstract numeration systems generalize numeration systems whose representation map is increasing and such that the language of all the representations is regular. We show that if a set of integers is recognized by some finite automaton within two independent abstract numeration systems, then this set is a finite union of arithmetic progressions.
