The Effects of Realistic versus Nonrealistic Play Materials on Young Children's Symbolic Transformation of Objects.
Trawick-Smith, Jeffrey
Journal of Research in Childhood Education, v5 n1 p27-36 Fall-Win 1990
Thirty-two preschoolers were observed while they played with realistic play props and nonrealistic play materials in an effort to determine whether realism of play objects was related to overall symbolic object transformation. Boys of all ages and girls under age five demonstrated greater symbolic activity with realistic play props. (SH)
