A total of 120 4- and 5-year-old children were assigned to the matched dyad (pairing children with same level) or the unmatched dyad (pairing children with differing level) condition. Each dyad’s verbal interaction, while working with a block task collaboratively, were videotaped and then transcribed for analyses.
