Abstract

Objective To explore the impact of abacus calculation on children's perception of the graphic location,to provide the evidence for mental abacus calculation training promoting brain function and mental abacus calculatio teaching. Method A sample of fourteen children trained with abacus mental calculation and fourteen children trained without abacus mental calculation were taken.The brain wave of the children was researched when they judged the graphic location by using the event related potential technique and recorded the amplitude and latent period. Results 1) The difference of the amplitude in two groups' right occipital temporal N170 was significant (F=10.51,P<0.05) and the amplitude of the later was higher.2) The difference of the amplitude of P2 emerging on the forehead was significant (F=5.09,P<0.05) and the data of the children who did not be trained was higher.3) The difference of P3 head latent period was significant (F=9.98,P<0.05) and the latency of the abacus calculation trained children was longer. Conclusion Abacus training has a certain impact on the children's perception of the graphic location.
