Considers a number of models that specify how children and adults solve single-digit addition problems. It is shown that the most adequate of these for children's response latencies is a model that assumes the existence of a counter with 2 operations: setting and incrementing. The child adds 2 digits, m and n, by setting this counter to max (m, n) and then incrementing it min (m, n) times. This model also accounts for adults' latencies, though with a drastically reduced incrementing time. Some theoretical issues raised by this reduced time are considered, and an alternative model is suggested which assumes that adults usually use a memory look-up process with homogeneous retrieval times, but occasionally revert back to the counting process used by children.(2l ref.)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
