The Influence Of Age And Parental Style On Children's Tool Innovation Ability

Tool innovation refers to the use of existing materials to create new tools,or to solve new problems by retrofitting old tools using new methods.Human life revolves around the use of tools.Tool innovation has promoted tremendous achievements in human society and is seen as a symbol of human wisdom.Cultural accumulation refers to the accumulation of knowledge and continuous improvement of technology for generations over a period of time.Cultural accumulation conveys the tooling skills and social customs of specific groups to future generations through high-precision imitation.However,imitation alone cannot explain the technological progress unique to human beings.Tool innovation is based on this,making humans more complex.Skills and knowledge reserves.Childhood is a key stage in the development of tool innovation capabilities.At present,domestic research mainly focuses on the influencing factors of children's tool innovation,and research on the development of children's tools is not sufficient.In addition,children's tool innovation relies on adult task solutions and demonstrations.Therefore,Parental style may also be an important factor influencing children's tool innovation.Therefore,the current study is sampling in kindergartens and primary schools,using hook tasks,to explore the characteristics of children's tool innovation ability in 4-8 years old,to reveal the occurrence performance,development track and development mechanism of early childhood tool innovation,and f Parental style for children's tool innovation.The impact of capacity.Study 1 uses the hook-and-hook task to examine the characteristics of the tool innovation ability of children aged 4-8.Study 2 examines the factors influencing the ability of Parental style to innovate children's tools.The results show that the ability of tool innovation is gradually appearing in children 4-5 years old.5-6 years old may be the key period for the rapid development of children's tool innovation ability.The 6-8 years old tool innovation ability develops slowly and tends to be stable.Democracy,authoritarianism and love-loving are the main Parental style factors that influence the innovation of children.Compared with authoritarianism and love,the higher the level of democracy,the better the performance of children's tool innovation.
