Objective:
To seek
differences in cognitive development of children between
the ages of 6 and 12.View differences in responses to verbal questions
and visual pictures.
Hypothesis:
There is an increase in elaborate answers
as the children age because of
exposure to higher education and the
world around them.
Cautions:
The structuring of questions may
contribute to answers. Make sure to
have parent permission.
Materials:
6, 8, 10, and 12 years old
children
3 broad verbal questions
3 pictures without people
3 pictures with people
ink blot
3 nature (neutral) pictures
Procedures:
Individually gather information from
the 6, 8, 10, 12 child. First ask the 3
verbal questions. Ask "What do you see
in this picture?" when showing
the 12 pictures. Order does not matter,
but my order is as follows : 3
pictures without people, 3 pictures with
people, 3 nature (neutral
pictures).
