Svenson, O. & Hedenborg, M. L. 1980. Counting processes in simple addition. Scandinavian Journal of Education Research 24,93‐104. Verbal protocols and response latencies were used in this study to investigate the thought processes used by children solving simple arithmetic problems (I + J = , where 0≤I≤13 and 0< J ≤13). To specify, the verbal reports were used to classify the solutions into one of two main groups: (a) answers retrieved from long term memory and (b) answers involving active manipulation of the problem in working memory (reconstructive solutions). The response latencies in each of these groups were analyzed separately for each child. As expected, latencies for retrieved answers were shorter than for reconstructed solutions. The retrieval from long term memory of the answer to a problem with the smaller number first (e.g., 3+4) required about 0.1 sec longer time than when the numbers were in the reverse order (4 + 3). Grouping latencies according to verbal protocols made it possible to refine the analysis of the response latencies. To exemplify, counting strategies with greater units than one (e.g., 6 + 4: 6, 8, 10) were identified and parameters describing the cognitive processes listed.
