SAXE，GEOFFREY B. 身体部位作为数字：巴布亚新几内亚 Oksapmin 计数的发展分析。儿童发展，1981，52，306-316。本文的目的是对居住在巴布亚新几内亚偏远 Oksapmin 村的儿童获得土著身体部位数字系统的情况进行分析。研究 1 和研究 2 中报告的结果表明，Oksapmin 儿童在使用身体部位来比较和再现数字方面从前中介阶段进展到中介阶段，并且这种变化通常发生在数字守恒概念的发展之前。这一趋势与美国的调查结果相似。研究 3 中报告的结果表明，这种普遍变化以文化特定的方式表现出来。例如，Oksapmin 儿童从相信任何两个身体部位之间的数字关系是由它们的物理相似性决定的（例如，对称的身体部位意味着数字相等）发展到理解任何两个身体部位之间的数字关系是由它们在枚举中的顺序位置决定的。
SAXE, GEOFFREY B. Body Parts as Numerals: A Developmental Analysis of Numeration among the Oksapmin in Papua New Guinea. CHILD DEVELOPMENT, 1981, 52, 306-316. The purpose of this paper is to present an analysis of the acquisition of an indigenous body part numerational system by children who live among remote Oksapmin village populations in Papua New Guinea. The findings reported in studies 1 and 2 indicate that Oksapmin children progress from premediational to mediational phases in their use of body parts to compare and reproduce number and that this change generally occurs prior to the development of concepts of number conservation. This trend parallels findings in the United States. The findings reported in study 3 show that this general change is manifested in culturally specific ways. For instance, Oksapmin children progress from a belief that the numerical relation between any 2 body parts is determined by their physical similarity (e.g., symmetrical body parts imply numerical equivalence) to the understanding that the numerical relation between any 2 body parts is determined by their ordinal positions in an enumeration.
