“…There is growing evidence that manipulation can improve learning in the number domain. For example, conservation of discrete quantities is facilitated by action and gesture (Lozada & Carro, 2016), pointing to items in a collection boosts the acquisition of number words and counting (Fuson, 1988; Saxe & Kaplan, 1981), touching objects helps children count accurately (Alibali & DiRusso, 1999), and active experiences with an object (a die) promote cardinal comprehension in a playful situation (Coccoz, Lozada, Salsa, & Scheuer, 2019). To understand the advantages of physically manipulating concrete objects, it is necessary to analyse in detail the types of actions deployed during the tasks.…”

This study examines the impact of manipulation on the performance of 3.5-and 4-year-old children in the Give-N task with concrete representations (sets of bottle caps and pictures of dots) and spoken number words. In this task, children were asked to give a certain number of items (cookies) using the three representational formats.Children were assigned to one of two conditions: manipulation (children could physically interact with the objects and pictures) or observation (children watched as the experimenter presented the representations). Resultsshow that manipulation had different effects according to the age of the children. For 3.5-year-olds, manipulation with objects but not with pictures consisted in taskirrelevant actions, and hindered performance. For 4-yearolds, however, manipulation with both concrete representations were task related and did not disrupt performance. The mere contemplation of the objects and pictures, without physically interacting with them, facilitated performance in both age groups, in comparison with number words. Emerging cardinal comprehension seems to be influenced not only by the kind of representations used by children, but also by the type of physical exploration afforded during the task.

Humour, empathic concern and perspective‐taking in children. Cartooning about social inequality

et al. 2023

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This research is motivated by two inter‐related arguments. Humour and cartooning in children are useful means to (1) address sensitive socio‐political issues and (2) foster empathic concern and perspective‐taking. Humorous cartoons and multimodal narratives were created by 10–13‐year olds in school workshops about social inequality and social empathy. Students made cartoons related to concrete situations of economic, gender, racial and ethnic inequality. Children showed empathic concern towards the victims depicted, evidenced by representing positive empathy between characters or by denouncing a lack of empathy. This research suggests that composing humorous multimodal narratives can favour immersive experiences, perspective‐taking, empathy and pro‐sociality.
