Abstract: Forty-one preschool children enrolled in a southeastern university enrichment program, 21 2-year-olds and 20 3-year-olds, were randomly assigned to two treatment groups: a microworld computer experience designed to teach the concept inside/outside and an ABC computer experience designed to drill the alphabet. Mothers assisted children in gaining computer competency. Mother/child dyads were videotaped during each 15-minute session for a total of one hour of treatment. Videotapes were coded and scored using the Wood and Middleton (1975) Assisted Problem-Solving Scale with interrater reliabilities consistently over .80. Children were administered a classification task at the end of treatment.
