The current study's objective was to examine the link between cognitive stimulation at home and children's task persistence. A sample of 60 children and parents with equal numbers selected from low- and high-income families were recruited to gather information about the level of cognitive stimulation in their home by using a checklist-like tool directed to a parent. Concurrently, the children were invited to participate in a series of cognitive tasks. The results showed that low-income families having less cognitive stimulation and low-income children completed fewer tasks compared to their peers from high-income families. Further, the outdoor activities were found to be highly linked to the number of completed tasks. The discussion depicts how cognitive stimulation in general and outdoor activities in particular is conducive to children's persistence in attempting a challenging task. Implications for educators and caregivers are provided for identifying and supporting families in need of adequate learning resources.
