Abstract
An educational toy for testing a child's ability to properly associate logically related symbols and teaching proper associations. The toy includes an area for displaying two groups of symbols in a predetermined array on a housing and two members movably mounted to the housing so that the child may move each member into alignment with a symbol from one of the groups. In response to manual actuation of a switch, the toy emits a first signal, indicative of a correct performance, if the members are in alignment with logically related symbols at the time of such actuation and emits a second signal, indicative of incorrect performance, if the members are not so aligned at the time of such actuation. In a preferred embodiment, the toy includes electronic detection and signalling circuitry, a programmed microprocessor forms a part of the detection and signalling circuitry, and the microprocessor may be manually controlled to act in other play modes. The foregoing abstract should not be taken as a complete exposition of the present invention, or as a limitation of the present invention.
