Exercise 2

A cognitive development study was conducted in order to investigate if the manipulation of 3D objects can improve abstract reasoning. In order to investigate this, participants were divided into two groups: one group was given an abstract reasoning test, then given a LEGO building task for 30 minutes, and then given the abstract reasoning test again. The second group were given an abstract reasoning test, then asked to paint a picture for 30 minutes, and then given the abstract reasoning test again. It was anticipated that playing with LEGO would demonstrate the greatest improvement in abstract reasoning. Does playing with LEGO improve abstract reasoning in children more than painting a picture?

The following is a number of questions correct
