Subclaims¶

q3 i3 In Study 2 there was a significant interaction between playset and behavior, F(2, 18) = 33.82, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.79, with cooperative play more frequent in the AKC condition, F(1, 32) = 71.48, p < 0.001. → Yuill N 2014

q3 · i3 · causal · r1

Study 2: 33 children (mean age 8 years 4 months) in 11 triads played two sessions with AKC or KC; the interaction effect was large (η2 = 0.79) and the article reports "cooperative play was more frequent in the AKC condition than in the KC, [ F(1, 32) = 71.48, p < 0.001]" with non-overlapping 95% CIs for cooperative and parallel play.

"there was a significant interaction between playset and behavior, [F(2, 18) = 33.82, p < 0.001, η2 = 0.79], observed power of 1.0"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Attention bids were significantly more likely to succeed with the augmented toy (68% vs 52% success)
• Joint narratives after augmented play were rated more creative, and per-child creativity correlated with cooperative play (r = 0.72) and negatively with parallel play
• An audio-augmented toy produced significantly longer cooperative play than the same toy without augmentation in triads of 6- to 11-year-olds — related
• Groups with the augmented toy used more balanced narrative roles, with more narrator and fewer metanarrator utterances — related
