摘要

以往的研究充分表明了良好的分数理解的重要性，但也表明了人们对分数理解的不足。因此，研究分数推理背后的认知过程是很重要的。本研究探讨了抑制和转换成本在分数比较任务中的作用。参与者解决了一个分数比较任务，在自然数推理的4个项目一致和4个项目不一致之间交替进行。这不仅可以研究一致性转换效应，还可以研究抑制作用，因为在实验中，长时间暴露于不一致的试验会增加抑制作用。本研究基于七年级学生的数据，表明抑制不仅在学习者的一般数学成绩中起作用，而且在特定的数学领域，如分数中也起作用。此外，与非开关项目相比，正确解决开关项目的正确率较低，反应时间较长，这是一个开关成本。

The Role of the Inhibition of Natural Number Based Reasoning and Strategy Switch Cost in a Fraction Comparison Task

Previous research amply showed the importance of a good fraction understanding but also people’s lack of fraction understanding. It is therefore important to investigate the cognitive processes that underlie reasoning with fractions. The present study investigated the role of inhibition and switch costs in fraction comparison tasks. Participants solved a fraction comparison task that alternated between 4 items congruent and 4 items incongruent with natural number reasoning. This allowed to not only investigate congruency switch effects, but also inhibition, given that inhibition was experimentally increased by the prolonged exposure to incongruent trials. Based on data of seventh graders, the present study showed that inhibition does not only play a role in learners’ general mathematics achievement, but also in specific areas of mathematics, such as fractions. Moreover, a switch cost was found in the lower accuracy rates and higher reaction times needed to correctly solve switch items compared to non-switch items.

期刊介绍： The international journal Studia Psychologica is published by the Institute of Experimental Psychology, Slovak Academy of Sciences, Bratislava, Slovak Republic, since 1956. The journal publishes original articles in the area of psychology of cognitive processes in personality and social context. The journal aims at providing contributions to the understanding of cognitive processes which are used in the everyday functioning of human beings. This includes studies on the acquisition and use of knowledge about the world by human beings, the nature of such knowledge, and the relationship between knowledge, behavior and personality conceived as an agent in his/her environment.
