Abstract

Statement of Problem

The purpose of the study was to identify conditions in the nature of persistence in the accomplishment of activities or tasks in which children 18-31 months participate. The study focused on the nature

of persistence in an effort to observe and record the actions of the young children as they attended to an activity.

Procedures

The study was conducted using ten subjects in five groups, ranging in age from eighteen to thirty-one months. Children for this investiga­tion were randomly selected. The sample included six males and four females.

Each child was observed in an active situation on four occasions. A video tape and written records were made of each session. Part A consisted of three sessions for each child, in which he had much control over his or her own activity.

Part B was under the control of the mother where she directed the child in stacking the seriated rings during Segment 1. In segment 2 the mother worked cooperatively with her child for a twenty-minute period.
