| Abstract | This study investigated the effects of novelty on young children's exploration of commonplace, 3-dimensional objects. The exploration of novel and familiar objects was compared and the pattern of the exploration of the novel object over a period of time was examined in order to test two hypotheses: (1) that novel objects elicit more exploration from young children than familiar objects, and (2) that there is a decline in the exploration of novel objects due to repeated exposure over time. Subjects were 15 boys and 15 girls (aged 54 to 60 months) from low-income black families, enrolled in a day care center. All subjects completed 8 individual observation sessions of 10 minutes each occurring twice daily for 4 consecutive days. Four initial 10-minute sessions were used to familiarize the subjects with two assigned objects. The subsequent 4 sessions were then used to present the third, novel object simultaneously with the familiar objects. A check list was used for recording the exploration of each object at the end of each 10-second enterval. Novelty and familiarity were selected as the independent variables, while the mean difference scores for the 4 final sessions were considered the dependent variables. Results supported the first hypothesis but not the second. (CM) |
