Strategy in Counting-Out: Evidence from Saint-Nazaire, France
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In a study based on the ethnography of speaking approach, Goldstein described and analyzed various strategies used in counting-out by four-to fourteen-year old children in the East Mount Airy section of northwest Philadelphia in 1966-67.Goldstein observed that, although he had been informed orally of similar or other counting-out strategies employed in other parts of the United States, Canada, Europe, and Africa, there were to his knowledge no published accounts of these (178, n. 15).The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the crosscultural investigation of children's folklore by providing data on counting-out strategies used in Saint-Nazaire, France. 1 My field work was initially undertaken for a doctoral dissertation (Arleo 1982) involving the comparative study of counting-out rhymes in French and English.Research methods included observation, interviews and recording in play areas and in the classrooms of several elementary schools, as well as the collection of written documents (texts, drawings, descriptions, questionnaires) from children and adults.Additional collecting of counting-out and other children's rhymes has been carried out since 1982 to the present time in Saint-Nazaire and the surrounding areas. 2The Countimr-Out Ceremonv in France.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
