Children's Dramatic Play: Influence of Thematic and Nonthematic Settings.
Dodge, Mary K.; Frost, Joe L.
Childhood Education, v62 n3 p166-70 Jan-Feb 1986
Describes an exploratory study in which alternative dramatic play areas are compared among older preschoolers. Twelve children, grouped into same-sex pairs (55 to 67 months old), were observed in various playroom environments. Results indicate that theme specific settings stimulated dramatic play while neutral areas encouraged personal fantasy play. (BB)
