Stages of Development
Preintentional/Perlocutionary
1-8 months
- no intention in paly
- have not developed cognitive skills to represent ideal or plan actions
- do not indented an outcome for behavior
- parents pretend and put meaning on it (helps with development
Sages of Development
Illocutionary
9-18 months
express intentions through signals (not conventional language)
need iinteraction for reinforcement
Classifications of Play
Presymbolic and Symbolic
Presymbolic
prerepresentational beacsue child isn’t using an object/gesture to represent something else
-child primarily explore and interact with objects/toys
Substages of Presymbolic
Sensorimotor play: 2-12 months Nonfunctional play: 9-12 months
Functional play: 10-18 mothns
Sensorimotor Play
physical manipulation and inpection of objects be grasping, holding, mouthing, biting and banging
Infant’s attempt to assimilate the object into existing cognitive structure
also attempting to adapt the world to make accommodations for the toy/object
Nonfunctional Play
befinning to relate objects to another (putting objects together in some way)
- in a non-functional way
- child might stack, bump, nest, touch objects together
- if not doing this child may have midline problems
Fuctional Play
beginning to use ojects in mannaer consistent with object’s conventional use
typical, conventional, social, functional use of objects (usually have seen it used that way before)
Symbolic Play
Watson & Zlotlow (1999) “an important characteristic of young children’s early symbolic play is the existence of functional-conventional behaviors, demonstrated in the enactment of activities that are very familiar to the child in contexts that are not typical for those activities”
Symbolic play is multi-dimensional and involves the components of…
- the use of objects
- actions used during play
- the roles of the individuals enacting the paly
(goes beyond functional play)
important to speech development
Decentration
role transformation
Decontextualization
use of real object or miniature substitutions
-assigning attributes (ex yummy food)
Ideation- ex. hand to ear for phone
Object/setting transformation
Integration
combining schemas
Script Knowledge
charactures, props, setting, sequence, vocabulary based on life experience, books, tv
Solitary Pretend Play
(another way to say symbolic play)
selfto other; partner is passive
Collaborative Pretend Play
(another way to say dramatic play)
dramatic play with to or more ppl
Developmental Timeline of Pretend
- Self-directed: 14 months
- Other-directed single schemas: 16 months
- Combinatorial/multischemes: 18 months
- Planned pretend/hierarchical schemes: 24m
- Collaborative pretend: 21/2-3 years
- Competent in play: 5 years
Metacommunication
Meta refers to language/cognition
metacommunication is talking about the ongoing play
The Pretend Rules
- Participants must not reveal that they are “just playing”
- the assumption among participants is that everyone is pretending throughout
The Collaboration Rules
- participants must incorporate all new proposals of others in the scheme
- participants must elicit or provide agreement to proposals
- negotiation must occur when disagreements arise
Play Themes
- examination of play themes can reveal a childs ability to integrate the symbolic play components
- incorporation of components results in longer sequences with more variety of agents and objects
- initially play comes from child experience
- ability to act on personal events shows internal representation
- ability to enact experiences out of context is enabled by childs ability to represent events internally
Decentration
child views events from the perspective of others
- seen in play when child takes on other’s roles (and does so well enough that observers can recognize)
- big part in pragmatics
Developental Relationships and Language
- Firat words/single schemes
- Word combos/scheme combos
- Script-related vocabulary grows
- Practice with meta-verbs (talk, listen, read, write)
- Practice communication at 2 levels
Developmental Relationships and Cognition
pretend play is dependent on cognition and known to enhance: joint planning, memory, creativity, problem solving, curiosity, negotiation and improvisation
