| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A cognitive process of fraction is important topics in the domain of numerical development and mathematics education. But it was not had been clarified yet. The purpose of this study was to examine the mental representation of fraction for matured adult.
We used the immediate serial recall task to access one’s mental representation of fraction. A magnitude similarity effect in immediate serial recall task was obtained in the results from Study 1, 2 and 3. Those results suggested that a metal representation of fraction was also represented on the basis of magnitude information as same as whole number in our mind. But the relationship between magnitude similarity effect and performance in typical numerical tasks, magnitude decision and number line estimation, was inconsistent in our results. Those result suggested that a cognitive process of fraction was task specific. And the results from Study 4 and 5 with number line estimation task suggested common fraction were 1/2 and 1/3.
