Childrenʼs playings are not sports and should be deemed as their most serious actions – Montaigne

Children predominantly learn about the surrounding world through many forms of play
![Page 4: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
alone
![Page 5: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
role play
![Page 6: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
in groups
![Page 7: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
but all creative
![Page 8: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
It is their work, always taken extremely seriously and “is the hallmark of the paradoxically useful uselessness of extended immaturity” From butterfly to caterpillar: How children grow up by Alison Gopnik
![Page 9: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
There is much we do not recognise and there is so much we ignore from our immature days of play, learning and discovery
![Page 10: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Many examples of how children view the world. How behaviours change as babies mature and develop
![Page 11: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Many lessons interaction designers can learn from the behaviours and interactions a child has with its environment
![Page 12: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Looking
![Page 13: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How do small children look at the world around them and the things in it?
![Page 14: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Very small children have no concept of where their physicality ends and the world around them begins
![Page 15: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
when the mother is gone, the mother ceases to exist
![Page 16: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Children look at things in a particular way
![Page 17: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
An object appears and catches a small childʼs attention
![Page 18: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The length of looking indicates the level of interest it has in what it is looking at
![Page 19: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The object then disappears and then reappears. If the pattern is ʻpredictableʼ they will look for X time. If the pattern is broken, say for example it appears higher or lower than anticipated, the baby will look for X + Y time (longer) and can be said to be more interested in the object
![Page 20: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
small children will only ever look at the adultʼs finger pointing, not where it is pointing
![Page 21: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
(Up until the age of approximately 12-15 months) The human is the only mammal that does this. This is a fine example of not taking for granted that everyone sees what you expect them to see (or hope they will see)
![Page 22: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
later they begin to look where in the direction of where it is pointing...
![Page 23: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Just because you design something and point people at it doesnʼt necessarily mean they will see it the way you anticipated. Sometimes they will only look at your pointing
![Page 24: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Hiding and finding
![Page 25: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
young children learn how to look and discover where things are, go to and appear
![Page 26: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
There are two places to hide a ball: either behind point A or behind point B. To begin with a ball is hidden behind point A. Then while the child is watching, take the ball and hide it behind point B. Then ask the young child: “Where is the ball?” The young child will first look behind point A and then move onto looking behind point B. As they mature, they will find the object behind point B at the first attempt.

Object permanence
![Page 28: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
when an infant can no longer see an object it ceases to exist
![Page 29: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
“out of sight, out of mind”
![Page 30: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Adults have a propensity to look everywhere
![Page 31: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
that is why they are so complicated to design for
![Page 32: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Separation and attachment
![Page 33: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Up to 4-6 months infants are undifferentiatedly attached
![Page 34: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
happy to be held by anyone
![Page 35: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
After 6 months it becomes attached to 1 person (usually the mother)
![Page 36: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Separation anxiety begins
![Page 37: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The self is now recognised as separate from the caregiver. For children up to the age of 6 years old, it is widely accepted that separation anxiety is their predominant concern
![Page 38: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Theory of mind
![Page 39: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
It is a huge development in small children when they learn that people see things in a different way and from different angles than themselves
![Page 40: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Jean Piagetʼs A, not-B error: Person A hides an object from Person B in Place X. B then goes away. A then moves it to Place Y. When B returns, A asks B where he will look for the object. Up to a certain age, children will say X
![Page 41: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
one of the great insights into human interaction and behaviour
![Page 42: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Children will stand in front of you when you are watching the television when they want to watch it too
![Page 43: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
They donʼt know that what they see, the television screen, is not what you see (their presence blocking the television screen)
![Page 44: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Reading a book with a child. The child will hold it so they can see the book. After acquiring Theory of Mind they will hold the book so that you can see the book too
![Page 45: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Preoperational Thought
![Page 46: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Young children do not understand the significance of the transformation between states
![Page 47: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
transforming the shape of a liquid (pouring it from one container into another) does not change the amount
![Page 48: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
In front of a 5 year old child, pour the same amount of milk into one squat glass and one tall glass and then ask the child which glass has the most in it? The child will say the tall glass. Again in front of the child, pour the milk out of the squat glass into a new tall glass and the milk out of the first tall glass into a new squat glass. Again, ask the child which glass has the most in it and it will say the tall glass.

At approximately 6 years old, most children can tell you what they think you want to know
![Page 51: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
you can actually conduct an interview with a child and discourse analysis is possible
![Page 52: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Conclusion
![Page 53: Learning from our childhood](https://reader038.fdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102815/557c1bf6d8b42ace2b8b54bb/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
The closer attention we pay to the way that children interact with the world around them

– whether they are our own offspring and we view them in close proximity or through relations and or friends
