Abstract
Aim of the present pilot study, that involved a group of eleven years aged Italian subjects, is to study the relationship between non-verbal intelligence, visual-constructive ability, logical reasoning, and the abilities in construction and behavioral programming of LEGO Mindstorm Robots. As expected, results showed that children with high level in the cognitive tests are more able than others both in the robot body construction and in the robot behavioral programming. Implications for future research are emphasized. © 2002 IEEE.
