Early Childhood Research Lab
Cultural Predictors of Imagination
About
Although imagination and pretend-play are often regarded as milestones in children’s development today, there are clear individual differences in children’s preference for reality-based play (e.g., rule based games) versus fantasy-based play (e.g., pretending, fantasizing, daydreaming; Pierucci et al., 2014; Sharon & Woolley, 2004; Singer & Singer, 1990; Taylor, 1999). With this research, we seek to understand how various cultural and contextual factors may relate to a child’s propensity towards imagination.
