Responses to Manipulability of a Play Object
Preschool children's (40 boys, 40 girls) responses to varied manipulability of a play object were tested within a free play environment. A length of simple climbing rope was presented to Ss when attached (low manipulability) and unattached (high manipulability). A clear preference was found for rope with high manipulability
Children's Responses to Visual Complexity in a Play Setting
Groups of 4-yr.-old children were tested within a play environment containing Large climbing boxes which were structurally identical but presented two levels of visually patterned complexity. No preferences for either level of visual complexity were detected in the children's use of the boxes. This result confirmed predictions based on consideration of visual complexity as a form of unimodal complexity subordinate to multimodal complexity in an i…
Children's Play on Trestles Differing in Complexity
A need exists for new efforts at improving play equipment design. Recent research demonstrating the importance of stimulus complexity should be particularly relevant to such efforts. This study examined the responses of preschool children to a traditional play object design, a climbing trestle, presented in an intact and a modified (complexified) state. Children were found to prefer the modified trestle having the greatest amount of functional co…
