Preschoolers' Play Behavior in Outdoor Environment: Effects of Traditional and Contemporary Playgrounds.
Hart, Craig H.; Sheehan, Robert
American Educational Research Journal, v23 n4 p668-78 Win 1986
This study examined the differential influence of a traditional and a contemporary playground on preschool-age children's social, cognitive, and physical play behaviors. It appeared that the different playground settings had little influence on children's verbal interaction or social and cognitive play behaviors. Support for differences in physical play activity was modest. (Author/JAZ)
