Abstract
The aim of this study was to examine the role of counting principles in the acquisition of counting skill in preschool children. For this purpose, children’s judgment of acceptability of a counting activity in one’s application of counting principles in sequences of familiar (English) and unfamiliar (Turkish) count words were assessed. Data showed that children easily recognized the violation of one or more counting principles both in sequences of English and Turkish count words, implying that children have the understanding of counting principles. The sessions on counting in Turkish make it very likely that the children were responding to violations of rules rather than merely violation of well-learning of count words. These results give additional support to the assumption that there are innate counting principles that rule young children’s counting.
