Description
Mehedi Hasan Anik and Margarida Romero compared creative problem solving across age groups using a modular cube robot kit, in this 2024 study. The kit lets learners snap together parts to meet playful challenges. The team scored fresh thinking by how many ideas people produced, how varied they were, and how original, plus how fast tasks were solved.
Groups from young children to seniors each tried the tasks twice. In the first round, the youngest groups were the most original, though they solved problems quickly with less originality in some measures. In the second round, teens, young adults, and seniors grew more original. Past experience and the wish to be creative shaped the shifts. The authors argue for instructions tailored by age when teaching with such robots.
