Can Preschool Be Detrimental to Cognitive Growth?
Conducted in Swaziland in 1984 and 1985, this research study explored children's logical thinking skills. One of the primary elements examined was the relationship between previous preschool experience and the child's ability to perform logical thinking tasks. 

The most striking result indicated that non-preschool attenders performed better on five of the six tasks; namely, length, weight, number, seriation, and grouping. The preschool attenders performed slightly better only on the classification task.
