Research demonstrating that playing numerical board games increased preschoolers' numerical knowledge provides support for
A) both information-processing theories and Piagetian theory.
B) neither information-processing theories nor Piagetian theory.
C) information-processing theories but not Piagetian theory.
D) Piagetian theory but not information-processing theories.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The research supports information-processing theories because it shows that playing numerical board games can improve a specific cognitive skill (numerical knowledge), which aligns with the idea that learning involves the processing of information. However, it does not necessarily support Piagetian theory, which focuses more on the development of overall cognitive structures rather than isolated skills.
