Preschoolers' experiences with shapes are important because geometry is foundational to aspects of mathematics and it is now part of the Common Core for school-readiness. Exposure to shapes also provides experiences that are key to developing spatial thinking more broadly. Yet achieving a strong ...

As experience in the first few years of life crucially shapes the brain’s organization, we hypothesize that a GeoPref profile in a toddler may predict distal functional and cognitive outcomes, and our future work intends to examine whether the GeoPref profile is associated with a worse long-...
Several studies have tested for reorientation in children and other animals in rooms of other shapes, with potentially informative angle information. Tommasi and Polli (2004) trained chicks to navigate to a food source in one corner of a parallelogram-shaped arena, with two long walls and two sh...
these processes. This becomes particularly apparent in the context of illusions, e.g. Kanizsa triangle, which require the reconstruction of geometric shapes. Examining the robustness of the constructed mental representation to changes of scale, and inferring the role of errors/deviations in triangle ...
Results suggested that children in both didactic and guided play conditions learn the criterial features; however, this equivalence was most evident for relatively easy, familiar shapes (e.g., circles). A trend suggested that guided play promoted superior criterial understanding when learning more ...

Distinguishing between plane shapes did not cause any problems in comparison with the tasks which required analytical thinking. The most evident distinctions were observed between children aged 5 and older children (6 and 7 years old). The level of difficulty of the tasks was a factor that ...
