Recall that Bridgeman (1981) conducted an experiment with ten-year-old children, half of whom had previously had two months' experience in a jigsaw classroom
In this experiment, she showed the youngsters a cartoon in which a little boy waves goodbye to his father at the airport, receives a package from the postman, and bursts into tears upon finding out that it contains a toy plane. Children who had previously participated in the jigsaw classrooms were more likely to say that the postman would be confused at seeing the boy cry after receiving a present. This reflects the idea that jigsaw groups promote the development of
a. spatial skills.
b. self-esteem.
c. perspective-taking.
