Sharing Fantasy: Social Pretend Play in Toddlers.
Howes, Carollee
Child Development, v56 n5 p1253-58 Oct 1985
Social play emerged earlier than social pretend play with a similar structure; the incidence of social pretend play increased with age. Four strategies for integrating pretense into social play were isolated; among them, verbal recruitment and "join" were found to be more effective than imitation or nonverbal recruitment. (Author/RH)
