Young Children's Encoding of Images Based on Motor and Verbal Modes of Mediation

Silvern, Steven B.; Yawkey, Thomas Daniels

Psychology in the Schools, 14, 1, 112-115, Jan 77

Kindergarten subjects (N=24) were given practice producing a geometric production when given the three dimensional object. Using a two-way analysis of variance, the main effect of motor activity (drawing the projections) was significant. It was concluded that children's learning activities should be motor based, rather than verbal. (Author)
