How Behaviour and Ability Are Affected By Toys

Everyone has a toy that they favoured when they were younger. This is usually the one that you took to bed with you or carried with you wherever you went. Most people had a favoured category of toy also, such as planes, army men or dolls. These choices may have affected you more than you realise, as new research from the London Psychology Institute suggests we are strongly influenced in later life by our childhood toys. Here are the 3 main findings the study showed.

1. Those children who were encouraged to play with educational toys did not become more intelligent, but were more analytical in their approach to problems in later life. The research showed that learning toys developed patience and taught people to break down a problem into its simplest parts in order to overcome tasks

2. Those children who played mostly with toys such as dolls or action men etc (toys that had human characteristics) displayed greater communication abilities and could interact better with those around them as adults. It is thought that by having a face that children could talk to whenever they wanted encouraged them to vocalise their thoughts and share their problems with their toys.

3. Arguably the most interesting point that the research discovered is that those children who were able to play with toys at any given time, turned out to be wealthier and had more self-confidence in later life. This means if children played with bath toys, took toys out and about with them and had access to toys at friends houses etc, they became more successful in later life.

An important point to note with this research however is that it is not clear which way round the influencing factors occurred. For example, did the boy become more analytical by playing with his puzzle, or did he choose the puzzle because he was more analytical by nature? The answer is probably a combination of the two, but the report is still very interesting.
