The Relations between Symbolic Play and Literate Behavior: A Review and Critique of the Empirical Literature.
Pellegrini, A. D.
Review of Educational Research, v55 n1 p107-21 Spr 1985
Symbolic play and literate behavior involve similar mental processes: the production and comprehension of decontextualized language and narrative competence. Methodological and theoretical issues in recent studies are reviewed. Observational results support the theory of similar mental processes, but experimental results question a causal relationship between symbolic play and literate behavior. (Author/BS)
