Effects of Play on Novel Responses in Kindergarten Children
Li, Anita, K. F.
Alberta Journal of Educational Research, 24, 1, 21-6, Mar 78
Kindergarten children were randomly assigned: free play, make-believe, imitation, and control. Given an alternate-uses test (paper towel, match box, paper clip, and screwdriver), free play and make-believe subjects produced significantly more nonstandard responses for paper clip than control subjects and make-believe subjects more than free play and control subjects for screwdriver.
