Fantasy Play and Related Cognitive Development in 2- to 6-Year-Olds.
Cole, Diane; LaVoie, Joseph C.
Developmental Psychology, v21 n2 p233-40 Mar 1985
Developmental changes in specific types of fantasy play and the relation of role taking, egocentrism, and receptive vocabulary were examined in two- to six-year-olds. Both frequency and duration of material and ideational fantasy play increased with age, but play patterns differed. Data suggest developmental progression from object to person fantasy play does not occur. (Author/DST)
