Inhibition of the whole number bias in decimal number comparison: A developmental negative priming study
Abstract
A major source of errors in decimal magnitude comparison tasks is the inappropriate application of whole number rules. Specifically, when comparing the magnitude of decimal numbers and the smallest number has the greatest number of digits after the decimal point (e.g., 0.9 vs. 0.476), using a property of whole numbers such as “the greater the number of digits, the greater its magnitude” may lead to erroneous answers. By using a negative priming...
