q3 i2 Language comprehension, nonverbal reasoning, and concept formation were positively correlated with place value label use and language comprehension and nonverbal reasoning negatively with whole number label use. → Malone Amelia S. 2017

q3 · i2 · associational · r2

Correlations (Table 5): place value labels with WASI Vocabulary r=.27, Matrix Reasoning r=.24, Concept Formation r=.37; whole number labels with Vocabulary r=-.36, Concept Formation r=-.18*.

"Language comprehension, nonverbal reasoning, and concept formation were positively correlated with students' use of place value labels."

Discussion¶
