How do children think about rules and patterns?
This study is for ages 4, 5, and 6 years
In this study, we explore how children think about rules and patterns. Children must be 4-6 years old and be able to speak and understand English to participate.
This study involves playing a game on a tablet device (iPad). Your child will interact with an animated machine that sometimes turns on and off depending on which blocks are placed on it. They will then be asked to try to predict what causes the machine to work.
This study takes place in-person at our lab on the Brown University Campus at 190 Thayer St., Providence, Rhode Island. We will provide FREE PARKING if you let us know in advance that you will be driving.
After the study, your child will receive a small prize for participating in our study.
