The purpose of this study was to examine certain effects of designated activities on attention and persevering behaviors of preschool children. Relationships between teacher reinforcement and student attending behavior were also examined. The subjects, eighty 3- to 5-year-old children, were (a) enrolled in individual Suzuki violin lessons, (b) enrolled in individual and group Suzuki violin lessons, (c) enrolled in creative movement classes, (d) enrolled in preschool activities or classes, or (e) not enrolled in any organized preschool activities or classes. Analysis of classroom and lesson videotapes provided information on teacher and student behaviors. Attention and perseverance behaviors were analyzed through observation of videotape recordings of subjects performing two tasks designed by the experimenter. Both Suzuki groups scored higher on all attention task variables than did children in the other groups. Subjects receiving both individual and group Suzuki violin instruction spent significantly more time on the perseverance task than did all other subjects in the creative movement or preschool group. Teachers of subjects receiving both individual and group Suzuki violin instruction demonstrated significantly more teacher approval than did the preschool or creative movement teachers
