Spinning Fantasy: Themes, Structure, and the Knowledge Base.
Lucariello, Joan
Child Development, v58 n2 p434-42 Apr 1987
Investigated the influence of the child's knowledge base on symbolic play in terms of event schemas. Pretend play of 10 mother-child (ages 24 to 29 months) dyads was observed in novel and free play contexts. Play was examined for thematic content, self-other relations, substitute/imaginary objects, action integration, and planfulness. (Author/BN)
