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.
This study takes place in Bloomington, IN and is recruiting from the Bloomington community.

Participants will be paid for their participation.
