Cover Story: Children have persistent difficulty with foundational measurement concepts, including the meaning of spatial–interval units. We tested whether disconfirming evidence, counting the spatial interval units under an object that is not aligned with the origin of a ruler, or structural alignment, overlaying plastic unit chips on top of ruler, would improve children’s understanding of linear measurement. Children showed significant improvement in training conditions that included disconfirming evidence but not in the structural alignment conditions. However, an exploratory analysis suggests that improvement occurred more rapidly and was retained better when structural alignment was combined with disconfirming evidence compared to disconfirming evidence alone.
