Waite-Stupiansky, Sandra; Findlay, Marcia
Educational Forum, v66 n1 p16-25 Fall 2001
Review of research on recess shows how its presence or absence affects children's brain development, health and physical development, attention, memory, social and emotional adjustment, language development, and classroom behavior. Despite demonstrated benefits, recess is endangered by pressures on schools to increase achievement. (Contains 52 references.) (SK)
