Brief description of study
The purpose of this study is to investigate mathematical and number processing.
Detailed description of study
There is considerable data to suggest a relationship between visuo-spatial processing ability and mathematical ability. The question here is whether training on visuo-spatial tasks can lead to improvements in mathematical ability. Based on previous research, we hypothesize that children who play a competitive tabletop block building game will perform better on visuo-spatial and arithmetic tasks than children who spend the same amount of time playing a competitive non-block building board game or a non-competitive free block play.
