Analyzing Play #
Robin Henning has a great story about the study and science supporting the usefulness (or uselessness) of play. She comes to a positive but reserved conclusion:
It’s a pretty idea, the notion that play gives you hope for a better tomorrow, but science demands something a little less squishy. Science demands that if there are important long-term benefits to play, they must be demonstrated. That is why studies of play-deprived rats are so fascinating; they offer objective evidence that in at least some animals, insufficient play can have serious consequences.
