Summary
Program asserts that the testing of a causal hypothesis involving cognitive development is best done through a combination of observational and experimental methods. Kathy Sylva, Peter Bryant and other researchers share their insights into categorizing and codifying patterns of play through observation, avoiding common experiment-related pitfalls such as covariation and unintentional bias, and mitigating artificiality, a challenge to practioners of both approaches.
