Summary
Children’s cognitive development has been proven to be a crucial part in education, enabling children to interpret, predict, and influence other people’s emotional responses and behaviors [1]. Social interaction can have a positive impact on children’s cognitive development in that it facilitates cooperating, sharing, communicating and development of ‘operational thoughts’ [2, 3]. The lack of interaction with peers appeared to relate to different psychological domains, causing social and emotional difficulties, which may negatively affect children’s cognitive development [4]. We developed a prototype using multi-touch technology to illustrate how interactive group play can help facilitate social interaction among children [5].
