“…Children were asked to construct various numbers using base-10 blocks. Miura et al found that "Chinese, Japanese and Korean children preferred to use a construction of tens and ones to show numbers-place value appeared to be an integral component of their representations" (Miura et al, 1988(Miura et al, , p. 1445, whereas English-speaking children preferred to use a collection of units, suggesting that they represent number as a grouping of counted objects. More Asian children than American children were found to be able to construct each number in two different ways, which suggests greater flexibility of mental number manipulation.…”

“…Os pré e pós-testes eram idênticos e incluíram a Tarefa de Compra (descrita no Estudo 1), que foi administrada sem a demonstração adicional fornecida no primeiro Estudo, e uma Tarefa de Transferência, adaptada de um estudo realizado por Miura et al (1988). Nesta Tarefa de Transferência, foram dadas às crianças duas barras de dez blocos Unifi x, que representam dezenas, e vinte blocos equivalentes à unidade.…”

“…O uso de um paradigma opcional, em que as crianças podem dar uma resposta correta usando uma barra com dez blocos ou dez blocos unitários, não conectados em uma barra única, torna a interpretação do seu desempenho ambígua. Miura et al (1988) usaram esta tarefa com sucesso para identifi car as diferenças Disponível em <http://www.cedes.unicamp.br> Terezinha Nunes et al entre crianças norte-americanas de língua inglesa e crianças japonesas, que usam um sistema de contagem onde as dezenas são claramente indicadas: por exemplo, a palavra para "onze" é literalmente "dez-u m", a palavra para "doze" é "dez-dois", a palavra para "vinte" é "dois-dez" e a palavra para "vinte e um" é "dois-dez-um". Esta transparência na relação entre rótulos numéricos e quantidade pode criar uma preferência para pensar em termos de composição aditiva e usar a barra de dez blocos mesmo num paradigma opcional.…”

“…Indeed, due to a more efficient numerical names system, Asian children have shown more advanced abilities than Western children in counting (Miller, Smith, Zhu & Zhang, 1995;Miller & Stigler, 1987) and adding mentally (Geary, BowThomas, Fan & Siegler, 1993;Geary et al, 1996). Several studies of Miura and his colleagues (Miura, Kim, Chang & Okamoto, 1988;Miura & Okamoto,1989;Miura, Okamoto, Kim, Chang, Steere & Fayol, 1994;Miura, Okamoto, Kim, Steere & Fayol, 1993) showed that the effect of language also facilitated the cognitive representation of a number, the understanding of the canonical base-10 system (e.g., four ten-blocks and two unit-blocks for the number 42) and the understanding of place-value (e.g., the meaning of the individual digit in a multidigits number) for children from China, Japan and Korea, compared to English, French and Swedish children. The effect of language has also helped Chinese children to surpass their English and American counterparts in embedded-ten cardinal understanding (Ho & Fuson, 1998) and in the acquisition and use of ordinal numbers corresponding to their ordinal names (Miller, Major, Shu & Zhang, 2000).…”
