Thematic Fantasy Play: Effects on the Perspective-Taking Ability of Preschool Children.

Tan-Niam, Carolyn

International Journal of Early Years Education, v2 n1 p5-16 Spr 1994

Examined the effects of thematic fantasy play (TFP) on the perspective-taking of 27 kindergarten children by having their teacher guide them in the reenactment of fairy tales. Results demonstrated that the children exposed to TFP performed significantly higher on measures of perceptual, cognitive, and affective perspective-taking than a control group not exposed to TFP.
