Abstract

Horizontal and vertical patterns of letters, numbers and clock faces were presented to 63 kindergartners. Six patterns presented items in a growing (ABABBABBB) pattern, such as 454554555. Six patterns were symmetric (i.e. ABCDDCBA). Implications for the ongoing, traditional use of patterns as a cognitive intervention were described.
