This document summarizes a presentation on a study examining cooperation and collaboration among preschoolers using an interactive multi-touch table. The study found that the preschoolers exhibited mostly cooperative behaviors while playing educational games on the table, with some collaborative and competitive behaviors also observed. Specifically, the children verbally and physically demonstrated cooperation through actions like finding objects near their space and celebrating together. Collaboration was shown through behaviors like moving objects for peers to reach and high-fiving after finishing activities. A moderate level of competition also emerged but was not excessive. The children engaged with the technology successfully and were excited to interact on the multi-touch surface.
