An Exploration of Toy Content of Preschool Children's Home Environments as a Predictor of Cognitive Development.
Wolfgang, Charles; Stakenas, Robert G.
Early Child Development and Care, v19 n4 p291-307 1985
Using play-material scales, SES, age, and sex as predictor variables, this study employed regression against the subvariables of the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities of verbal, perceptual-performance, quantitative, memory, and motor abilities. Findings suggest that SES is predictive of verbal, quantitative, memory, and motor, while age is predictive of perceptual performance. (Author/KS)
