需要在改进游戏设备设计方面做出新的努力。最近的研究表明，刺激的复杂性的重要性，应该特别相关的努力。本研究探讨学龄前儿童的反应，传统的游戏对象设计，攀登栈桥，提出了一个完整的和修改（复杂化）的状态。孩子们被发现更喜欢修改后的栈桥具有最大的功能复杂性。游戏设备设计的复杂性的吸引力，从而肯定了系统的后续评估儿童的反应，传统和创新的游戏对象的设计是至关重要的。
A need exists for new efforts at improving play equipment design. Recent research demonstrating the importance of stimulus complexity should be particularly relevant to such efforts. This study examined the responses of preschool children to a traditional play object design, a climbing trestle, presented in an intact and a modified (complexified) state. Children were found to prefer the modified trestle having the greatest amount of functional complexity. The attractant power of complexity in play equipment design was thus affirmed as was the critical importance of systematic follow-up evaluation of children's responses to traditional and innovative play object designs.
