English term

Grouping

English to Chinese Social Sciences Psychology school psychology for disabled students
"Students in the mild range will show some early concrete operational skills, but won’t understand the same concept at a slightly higher level. Groupings are still pretty much at the subgroup categories, but there may be the occasional supergroup. However, the flexibility needed to go between the sets is not firmly established."

分组?分类?

Also I need to find Chinese equivalents for subgroup, supergroup, and set here. Do I have to make an entry for each of them? Thanks, everyone!

Shirley Lao Mar 13, 2013:
In cognitive development, terms such as "classification" and "categorization" are more commonly used. So, 分类 is more commonly seen in such texts.
Jing Hu (asker) Mar 12, 2013:
分类? According to the information you provided, Shirley, 分类 seems the best choice, doesn't it?

Should be: a child groups, classifies and categorizes objects or concepts...
Shirley Lao Mar 10, 2013:
Superordinate - Basic - Subordinate categories In cognitive development (child development), a child groups, classifies and categories objects or concepts using superordinate, basic and subordinate categories as they grow older in age and become more cognitively competent in grouping, classification and categorization. In this way, they are able to organize objects or concepts in a hierarchy.

I don't think it is a mathematic term in this context.

Grouping is another basic operation, like adding, substracting, multiplying, dividing, students in US start to learn in elementary schools. It is grouping of certain items according to the similar factors shared by the grouped elements. "Subgroup" is 子群 but I'm not so sure wheter "supergroup" is translated as 超级群.

In the most basic level, grouping is a cogtnitive operation to perceive common elements in a group of varieties. From what I understand from the original text pasted here, I think the writer is talking about "grouping" as a cognitive operation instead of an activity to group the students. I hope I'm right in this respect.

If I am right from my reading of Dr. Wagnar's essay, he's using groups and supergroups in sociological context talking about social representation.
