Abstract


The aim of the research is to identify Interdependent Thinkingof a pre-school child, and its relation to Cognitive Loadamong pre-school children.
Tools used in the research is  aForm NoteInterdependent Thinking for Pre-School Child ( prepared by researcher) & a measure Cognitive Load( prepared by researcher).
Search Results:
1-    There are statistically significant Inverse relationship between Interdependent Thinking and    Cognitive Load.
2-    There are no significant differences between children on a Form Note Interdependent Thinkingscale,and Cognitive Load according to the variable of gender. (Male - female).
3-There are statistically significant relationship between secondary mission and Cognitive Load.
