Euclid’s Random Walk: Developmental changes in the use of simulation for geometric reasoning
Euclidean geometry has formed the foundation of architecture, science, and technology for millennia, yet the development of human’s intuitive reasoning about Euclidean geometry is not well understood. The present study explores the cognitive processes and representations that support the development of intuitive reasoning about Euclidean geometry. One-hundred-twenty-five 7-12-year-old children and …
