Examined the
relationship between variation in 840 children's cognitive activities
and child-care quality, interaction with teachers, and children's
play activities and attachment security with their child-care teachers.
In 7 of the 8 subsamples, 15 to 30% of the variability in cognitive
activities could be predicted from positive social interaction,
attachment security, and creative play. (HTH)
