Researches from CWRU who contribute valuable research to both this blog and the body of knowledge on creative play and child development are working on:
Preschool visitors between the ages of 4 and 6 to the Children’s Museum of Cleveland (CMC) will be invited to participate in a new study from the department of psychology at Case Western Reserve University to boost creativity and imagination in free play.
Nearby moms and caretakers will also engage in the study by watching how the children play and learn how to develop those play skills at home during several planned play sessions a week with mom, dad or the caretaker, according to Sandra Russ, professor of psychology at Case Western Reserve University and the study’s principal investigator.
The Silence of the Lambs release The researchers have partnered with their campus neighbor at the museum for the study “Effects of Play Intervention on Play Skills in Preschool Children.”
Russ, along with graduate students Kelly Christian and Karla Fehr and undergraduate Kathryn Clusman, will study approximately 40 children to see if a play intervention, first piloted at the CMC last year, continues to support the hypothesis that play interventions helps children learn how to be better players and use more creativity and imagination in their daily lives…
Congrats to our partners and we’re looking forward to their findings.
