Subclaims¶

q3 i3 Creativity of the joint narrative correlated positively with amount of cooperative play per child, r(33) = 0.72, p < 0.001, and negatively with parallel play, r(33) = −0.42, p < 0.05. → Yuill N 2014

q3 · i3 · causal · r2

Study 2 correlational analysis assigning each child the group's narrative creativity score; cooperative play per child was strongly positively related to creativity (r = 0.72), parallel play negatively related (r = −0.42).

"we observed a significant correlation between creativity of the play narrative and amount of cooperative play per child in the previous play sessions, [ r(33) = 0.72, p < 0.001], and a negative relation with parallel play, [ r(33) =− 0.42, p < 0.05]"

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Regression analysis showed creativity score was not dependent on active play — related
• The augmentation effect on cooperative play replicated in Study 2, with a large playset-by-behavior interaction and no overlap in confidence intervals
• 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
