Thesis advisor: Sara Cordes / Thesis advisor: Sophie Savelkouls / Prior research indicates that Spontaneous Focusing On Number (SFON) measured in the preschool years is predictive of mathematical achievement as late as age 12 (Hannula & Lehtinen, 2005; Hannula-Sormunen, Lepola, & Lehtinen, 2010). Therefore, there is great need to examine how young children’s attention to number is affected by various contexts. This study investigated how heterogeneity vs. homogeneity of the arrays, and verbal labels for the quantities presented affected young children’s attention to number, compared to their attention to cumulative surface area. We found that participants preference for and attention to number was correlated with their number knowledge, but only when the items they were presented with were homogeneous, not heterogeneous. This suggests that homogeneous arrays are important for children’s attention to number and individuation and could be used as a tool to help children better hone in on mathematical concepts. / Thesis (BS) — Boston College, 2018. / Submitted to: Boston College.

"Number is one of man's schemes for adapting himself to his environment. Development of the concept of number in man is intricately bound up with growth in him of language. Man is a social being and almost from birth, language activity becomes a part of his reactions to stimuli. He is therefore apt to use a partial language response even when the stimulus does not come from a strictly social setting"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1920." / Includes bibliographical references (leaves 89-91).

<p>In Libellulidae there are two types of egg-laying behaviour, non-contact guarding where the male accompany the female during oviposition and tandem guarding where the male is physically coupled with the female. These egg laying strategies also shows differences in egg size distribution and egg size. In species which perform non-contact guarding the egg size is inversely proportionate to the order of laying. In tandem species on the other hand, the egg size is more randomly distributed and the eggs are slightly larger than in non-contact species. To see if there is a difference in the female internal reproductive organs between the two guarding types, the ovariole number was counted. The result shows that species which perform tandem guarding during oviposition have a fewer number of ovarioles compared to the non-contact species. This difference in ovariole number was also species specific.</p><p> Increasing impact on ecosystems, the survival of dragonflies or any other insects can no longer be taken for granted. Therefore can this information be valuable in conservation biology when new habitats are created for preservation of species.</p>
