Gullo of Kent State University randomly assigned eighteen first graders from a middle-class, Midwestern school system into two computer groups. The first group programmed an Apple II

computer, using the computer language Logo, during two forty-minute sessions a week for twelve weeks. The other group received computer-based lessons in arithmetic and reading for the same time period. It was found that the children who programmed increased their scores on a creativity test in which they had to devise and draw pictures under time restraints and became better at identifying instances when they had not been given enough information to complete a simple task or understand how a magic trick is performed. However, a number of other tests provided no evidence that the programming experience can improve overall thinking abilities.The investigation was reported in the Journal of Educational Psychology.-Adapted from Science News What will be an ideal response?
