Context clearly matters. When the apparently knowledgeable teachers in the experiments provide a seemingly complete lesson about the toy, the children deduce that there is no more to learn. If the lesson is interrupted, or if the instructor seems like a novice, the child deduces that there is more to discover.Short lesson: Don't always tell your kids what to do with things. They may surprise you (and themselves!) with their creativity. I know that many is a game that we don't use anywhere near what was intended to do, and it's even more fun because we've come up with the rules!
