Dr. Al-Jamil wanted to investigate sharing behaviour in young children during free-play. She set up a video camera disguised as a wall-mounted clock in a preschool play area and recorded whether children shared their art supplies (coloured pencils or modeling clay) when working at a shared table. Dr. Al-Jamil later coded the footage to see which material was shared first.
Dr. Al-Jamil's results are shown in Table 1.
| Child's age | Coloured pencils | Modeling clay |
|---|---|---|
| 3 years old | 4 | 8 |
| 5 years old | 9 | 3 |
