ABSTRACT

Games with rules help to develop active attention in typically developing preschool children. The study involved 60 children aged 5–6 y.o. (M = 5.83; SD = 9.76) from daycare centers in Kemerovo, Russia. The diagnostic tools included the Find and Cross Out Technique (a modified Bourdon’s Proof Test), the Pieron-Ruser test, Pavlova & Rudenko’s Find the Same Picture Test, and Gutkina’s House Technique. The average level of concentration, switching capability, stability, and active attention were within the normal range. We have examined a program for typically developing preschoolers aimed at developing concentration, attention span, and distribution by playing games with rules. The experimental group demonstrated positive dynamics in concentration, attention switch, and active attention. Active attention is a major factor in school adaptation. Activities aimed at attention development help to prepare young children for school environment.
