Resumen:
This study explores whether and how different external representations of quantity influence the performance of 4-year-old children when constructing sets of a given cardinal number. Three representations of quantity were presented (objects, pictures and number words) in an adaptation of the "Give-a-number" task, in sets that contained 2 to 6 items. The results show that the use of pictures facilitated children´s performance with quantities of 3 and 4. These results are discussed by analysing the cognitive demands of representational formats, in terms of dual representation and iconicity, and according to the magnitude of the quantities involved (ARTÍCULO PUBLICADO EN FORMA COMPLETA EN INGLÉS Y ESPAÑOL).
