Road Trip with Friends!

For 4 years old children that can understand English and live in the US.

In this study, your child will go on a virtual road trip and help some friends along the way! They will play a guessing game to figure out who has the larger amount, and then help some Alien friends in a choose-your-own-adventure story. We are interested to see how children's guesses in the first game relate to their responses in the second game.

Children’s interests in numbers impact their engagement and performance. Our study asks how children’s intuitive sense of number (their guesses in the first game) relates to their interests (what they choose to find out in the story). Findings from this study will help us better understand what impacts young children’s interests. Ultimately by studying children’s interests, we aim to understand how to help children develop and maintain their interests.
