Make-Believe: A Mediator of the Relationship between Play and Associative Fluency.
Dansky, Jeffrey L.
Child Development, v51 n2 p576-79 Jun 1980
Subjects categorized as either players who displayed make-believe in natural free-play situations or nonplayers whose behavioral repertoires did not include make-believe, were exposed to either a free-play, an imitation or a problem-solving condition and given an alternate-uses test. Free-play enhanced associative fluency among players who engaged in make-believe. (Author/RH)
