Abstract
To examine the relationship between imaginative play and logical thinking in young children, 65 children ranging in age from 4 to 7 years were interviewed or observed to assess their level of imaginative play and were administered Piaget-derived logical-thinking tasks. It was found that the relationship varied across ages. Imaginative play was positively correlated with social perspective taking in 5- and 6-year-old children. Imaginative play was negatively correlated with spatial perspective taking and multiplication of classes in 5-year-old children.
