The Development of Play as the Development of Consciousness.
McCune, Loraine
New Directions for Child Development, n59 p67-79 Spr 1993
Argues that the capacity for consciousness of self and others arises from developing representational and perceptual activities, especially during play. Examines young children's development of symbolic play, from sensorimotor exploration to representational play through five stages involving gestures of recognition, self-pretend and pretend play, and linear and hierarchical combinations.
