Mémorisation des prix par les enfants : Que nous apprennent leurs erreurs de rappel ?
Abstract
Ce papier s’appuie sur des théories de cognition numérique pour étudier les erreurs de rappel de prix faites par les enfants. L’objectif est, entre autre, de souligner les caractéristiques du prix qui sont sources d’erreurs et d’analyser la structure même de ces erreurs afin de comprendre le traitement de l’information-prix chez les enfants. Les résultats révèlent que le prix est codé de multiple façon qui affecte sa mémorisation. De plus, le niveau de cherté, la terminaison et le nombre de syllabes du prix influencent les erreurs réalisées.Download Info
