Three field
experiments involving 145 students in kindergarten, grade 2, and
grade 4 examined the effects of different recess timing regimens
on children's behavior. Results in terms of prerecess inattention
and social interaction on the playground are discussed in relation
to play deprivation theory and massed versus distributed practice.
