In Wood et al.'s procedure, what was the child's main activity at the beginning?

  1. Listening to the tutor's instructions

  2. Playing with the blocks without instruction

  3. Building a pyramid from memory

  4. Solving a series of puzzles

The correct answer is: Playing with the blocks without instruction

The main activity of the child at the beginning of Wood et al.'s procedure was playing with blocks without instruction. This approach allowed researchers to observe the initial behavior and capabilities of the child without any external guidance. By engaging in free play, the researchers could assess the child's natural interaction with the blocks, providing a baseline for how the child approached the task independently. This stage also set the context for later interactions where structured guidance would be introduced, allowing for a comparison between independent and guided play.
