Development of Activity Level in Children

Routh, Donald K.; And Others

Developmental Psychology, 10, 2, 163-168, Mar 74

The open-field activity of 140 children 3-9 years old was observed. Children were either told to stay in one part of the room and play or were given free play instructions. Findings showed that open-field activity decreased with age; parents' activity ratings were also lower for older children. (CS)
