Simultaneous acquisition

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As simultaneous detection Scientists refer to the ability to detect the number of several things, without this count to need. In adults , the upper limit for this "at-a-glance capture" is around four to five objects.

Some learning psychologists claim that through targeted training this ability can be increased to eight or more objects . The question is whether it is actually a question of original simultaneous perception or whether it is not necessary to speak of structured multiple arrangements of recognized patterns .

An allegedly deficient simultaneous perception in this regard cannot be considered a reason for dyscalculia (arithmetic weakness). Targeted recognition training often leads - as intended - to increased hit rates without any conceptual learning in relation to quantities or numbers taking place. In addition, poor simultaneous perception can also be found in children with a good understanding of mathematics.
