Play and the Brain: Relationships and Reciprocity.

Tipps, Steve

Journal of Research and Development in Education, v14 n3 p19-29 Spr 1981

An analysis is made of the reciprocal relationship between play and three areas of interaction between the brain and human development: (1) the affective characteristics of play and the brain; (2) developmental theories of cognition and play; and (3) creativity as a continuation of the brain's need for play.
