Pupils always have difficulties when they face mathematical word problems. Reading skill is an
very important factor which affect pupils doing their mathematical word problems. The purpose of
this study was to examine relations between reading skills and the abilities in mathematical word
problems. We have pupils in a random sample(n=20) from fist to sixth Grades. The results show
that pupils with reading disabilities always have difficulties in solving in mathematical word
problems in every grade. The higher pupils' grade, the lower influence in mathematical word
problems.
1098.78 Re-study on framing effect: In extrinsic risk and intrinsic risk perspectives, Jinsong Li,
Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, China
Framing effect was one of the most important findings in decision making and supported by some
empirical studies. However, there were some pendent issues about it, which relate to the different
perspective of risk. This study distinguished intrinsic risk from extrinsic risk and then re-studied
the framing effect through a simulated experiment. Results showed that the framing effect was
significant different from the extrinsic risk perspective and the framing effect attenuated while the
risk degree and the outcome increased. The framing effect was not significant different from the
intrinsic risk perspective. Decision maker was intrinsic- risk-averse in the positive frame as well
as negative frame.
1098.79 A study of purposeful character and self-control capacity, Shu Yi Li, Institute of
Psychology, China
Will is adjusting and control system of man's mentality and conduct. The adjustment and control
over men's mentality and conduct is realized through the adjustment and control of cognition,
emotion, conduct and mental activities. This article proposes that according to the mental process
of purposeful action, through training of children's good purposeful characters and self-control
abilities, the children's overall quality can be improved. The training of children's self-control
abilities is to make children more clearly realize their abilities and characters and design their
own-developing objectives according to their actual conditions so as to rouse their internal
driving.
1098.80 Preference and grammaticality judgments are differentially sensitive to different
representational forms acquired in artificial grammar learning, Ayumi Yamada, Gakushuin
University, Japan
This study investigated what kind of knowledge is utilized by preference and grammaticality
judgments in artificial grammar learning. Participants were presented with strings generated from
a finite-state grammar and then made forced-choice preference or grammaticality judgments for
pairs containing a grammatical string(target) and nongrammatical one(distracter). When
distracters had invalid bigrams, grammaticality judgments resulted in higher target selection,
compared with preference judgments. When distracters had valid bigrams in invalid locations,
judgment type gave no differences target selection. The results suggest that preference judgments
are mostly based on abstract rather than fragmentary knowledge whereas grammaticality
judgments depend on both kinds of knowledge.
