How do children use their ideas about categories?
|
In this study, we explore how 5- and 7-year-old children think and learn about categories. Children must be 5 or 7 years of age and be able to speak and understand English to participate.
Children will be asked to help Robbie, a robot who doesn’t know how to draw fruits, learn about fruits and their categories. As part of a game, children will see two fruits on their screen and be asked to click on the one that best represents the fruit Robbie needs help with. We will provide a link to where this game can be played (a site hosted by us). |
Hi! I'm Robbie |
This study takes place over Zoom video conferencing with one of our researchers, who will go through the task with you and your child. We will use your webcam, your microphone, and the screen-sharing function to complete the task. The whole process will be videotaped via Zoom upon your agreement. To complete this study, a computer or laptop with Chrome or Firefox is required (unfortunately, Safari, tablets, and cell phones are incompatible with our game).
After the study, your child will each receive a small prize for participating in the form of a $5 electronic gift card from Amazon. We can only offer eGift Cards through Amazon.com (United States) and Amazon.ca (Canada).
