ABSTRACT Several studies have investigated children’s engagement with repeating pattern tasks, but few have related to patterns with ABA as the minimal unit of repeat. This study focuses on identifying intuitive characteristics of children’s work as they engage with repeating pattern tasks of different structures, focusing on the differences between ABA patterns and other patterns. The 11 children in this study are between the ages of four and seven years and are observed as they play with a repeating pattern application on computer tablet. A qualitative study of three children’s interactions with the application, including an analysis of gestures, found that completing an ABA pattern was non-intuitive.

在平板电脑上用 ABA 模式吸引孩子：填空

摘要 几项研究调查了儿童对重复模式任务的参与，但很少有人将 ABA 作为重复的最小单位与模式相关联。本研究侧重于识别儿童在从事不同结构的重复模式任务时工作的直觉特征，重点关注 ABA 模式与其他模式之间的差异。本研究中的 11 名儿童年龄在 4 到 7 岁之间，他们在电脑平板电脑上玩重复的模式应用程序时被观察到。对三个孩子与应用程序交互的定性研究，包括对手势的分析，发现完成 ABA 模式是不直观的。
