Preschoolers' thinking during experimenting with complex objects
(RESUME)

4-6 year old childrens' experimenting with specially designed complex objects was studied. The process is considered to be that of investigatory activity including crea-tive components and possessing its own foundations and effective mechanisms: Spe-cial features of learning motivation, goal-setting, knowledge of interaction systems, tendency to use complex manipulations and to organise them in certain combinations. The principles of didactic complex objects construction are presented. Children's group experimenting stimulated the comprehension of multifactorial correlations.
