Abstract
35 nursery school children, 4 to 5 yr. of age, were given trials during which they were allowed to play with blocks colored red, blue, green and gray that were presented in varied spatial arrays. Position preferences were more important than color preferences in Ss' use of blocks. This study emphasized the prominent role of stimulus context in play behavior.Keywords
