摘要
This book provides an overview of recent research presenting conflicting interpretations of children's understanding of the psychology of pretense and describes sociocultural factors which influence children's pretenses. Studies of nonhuman primates provide examples of their pretenses and other simulative activities, explore their representational and imaginative capacities and compare their skills with children. Although the psychological requirements for pretending are controversial, evidence presented in this volume suggests that great apes and even monkeys may share capacities for imagination with children and that children's early pretenses may be less psychological than they appear.

The ubiquity of children's pretend play suggests that it has an important role in cognitive development, and the appearance of what seems to be pretend play in apes points to the involvement of pretense in the evolution of mental capacities. These essays deal with these overlapping implications in three sets of papers. The first set presents theoretical perspectives about the mental processes that occur during pretense and examines how pretense is related to the development of children's theory of mind and more general ability to create mental representations. Set 2 presents empirical and theoretical studies of various kinds of pretend play in children. The final set examines possible pretend play in nonhuman primates, mainly apes, with careful attention to the criteria for distinguishing between pretense and simpler actions aimed at providing rewarding stimulation. Since cognitive development receives more extended examination than does animal cognition or the evolution of mind, this title will especially interest researchers and advanced students in child development. Written in a careful, thought-provoking manner, these papers are well worth the effort required to understand most of them. S. I. Perloe Haverford College
